Global hunger and food scarcity are among the costs of war

War historians and analysts look beyond death tolls to include global hunger and food scarcity as part of the total cost of armed conflict, according to Nathaniel Hunter for U.S. Catholic.

Hunter notes that while terms like collateral damage are often used to describe the deaths and injuries of noncombatants during bombings or missile strikes, the impact of war extends to broader issues of food security.
