The problem faced by the English colonists at Jamestown was that "the settlers did not plant enough crops and so began to starve."

This was a significant issue during the early years of the Jamestown colony, leading to what is known as the "Starving Time" during the winter of 1609-1610, when many colonists faced severe food shortages and starvation.
