resource shortages
Resource shortages occur when the demand for a particular resource exceeds its available supply. This can happen for various reasons, such as increased consumption, environmental changes, or disruptions in production. Common resources that may face shortages include water, food, energy, and raw materials.
These shortages can lead to significant challenges for communities and economies. For instance, a shortage of water can affect agriculture, while a lack of energy can disrupt daily life and industry. Addressing resource shortages often requires careful management, innovation, and cooperation among governments, businesses, and individuals.
