| Such is the official apathy that drought and food scarcities have found little space for intellectual discussions and strategic planning. |
|
| The blown-up bridges had not been rebuilt across the Arno and there were tremendous food scarcities. |
|
| The telexes could be used to obtain intelligence about where scarcities were worst, and where people were still working who could alleviate them. |
|
| If prices do reflect future resource scarcities, then the high volatility of asset prices does reflect volatility in societal well-being. |
|
| Fears of future scarcities have led to large-scale land acquisitions by foreign countries and Governments. |
|
| However, water scarcities among our neighbours to the south are appearing now as an increasingly important subject of negotiations. |
|
| However primitive or advanced a society may have been, it was subject to scarcities and abundances. |
|
| Indeed, these scarcities helped raise indigenous grievances to the level necessary for both the rise and success of the Zapatista rebels. |
|
| Countries struggling to feed their populations can face rising prices and increased scarcities if tracts of agricultural land are abruptly shifted to produce non-food crops. |
|
| While there is generally enough food in the world to feed everyone, chronic hunger persists and future global food security faces the uncertainties of growing resource scarcities and climate change. |
|
| As resource scarcities heightened, resource capture became common, with powerful groups within the homelands seizing access to remaining resources. |
|
| One of the ways that parents cope with scarcities of time is to enlist the services of commercial providers to carry out aspects of their parenting responsibilities. |
|
| Most significantly, these scarcities can, either individually or in combination, generate forces and processes which contribute to violent conflict among groups within society. |
|
| According to the University of Toronto's Thomas Homer-Dixon, scarcities of agricultural land, forests, fresh water and fish are those which contribute the most to violence. |
|
| Such forces have been less effective in preventing scarcities of renewables-scarcities which, growing evidence shows, threaten the internal stability of a number of developing countries. |
|
| In each of the cases discussed above, scarcities of renewable resources have interacted with political, economic and social factors to generate a series of conflict-producing conditions. |
|
| Such scarcities may act to strengthen group identities based on ethnic, class or religious differences, most notably by intensifying competition among groups for ever dwindling resources. |
|
| In this context, transport policy measures are required to signal relative scarcities to producers and consumers and to help the implementation of least-cost solutions in providing infrastructure and transport services. |
|
| As scarcities of renewable resources have increased, influential groups have seized control of them for personal gain, enriching themselves while further impoverishing the majority of the population. |
|
| If scarcities were fully reflected in the prices at which exhaustible resources are sold on international markets, it is true that there would be no reason for making such a correction. |
|
|
|
| Sanctions have hit foreign investment in oil and gas production, and driven up the cost of doing business, but have yet to create scarcities for ordinary shoppers. |
|
| With those scarcities came price increases, and chronic shortages were reported in a number of commodities, including detergents, soaps, and paper products. |
|
| To avoid economic scarcities, foreign exchange earnings needed a boost. |
|
| Low or moderate inflation may be attributed to fluctuations in real demand for goods and services, or changes in available supplies such as during scarcities. |
