The Great Chinese Famine (1959–1961) claimed more lives than any documented famine in history, with the numbers of lives lost estimated as high as 42 million. Could a similar event occur again? Possibly, but famines of the future will likely occur in mega-urban complexes comprising upwards of 15 million inhabitants in the tropical and subtropical nations of the world—yet food will be plentiful in the developed world outside of these regions.
