Ross

I believe the answer is:

famine

(Other definitions for famine that I've seen before include "Severe shortage of food for many" , "Widespread scarcity of food" , "Extreme lack of food" , "Severe food scarcity" , "Human tragedy through drought, etc" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
