Sentence examples of "голод" in Russian with translation "shortage"

<>
В середине двадцатого века, например, бум в горной промышленности по добыче фосфатов превратил микронезийское островное государство Науру из страны с нехваткой продовольствия и голодом в мирового лидера по ожирению и сахарному диабету 2 типа. In the mid-twentieth century, for example, a boom in phosphate mining transformed the Micronesian island state of Nauru from a land of food shortages and starvation to the world’s leader in obesity and type-2 diabetes.
Подобные бедствия не только вызывают гибель людей в результате утопления или от голода, они также наносят ущерб посевам и делают их беззащитными перед инфекциями, паразитами и сорняками, тем самым внося свой вклад в проблему нехватки продовольствия и недостаточного питания. Such disasters not only cause death by drowning or starvation, but also damage crops and make them vulnerable to infection and infestations by pests and choking weeds, thereby contributing to food shortages and malnutrition.
