A big reason is drought, which involves climate.
If not for political situations, and involving war, (Human Nature), there are ways and means around that.
Now look at Israel, who turned what was desert for centuries into a Paradise.
For them, they have a coastline to filter water from.
But, there are also other means and ways to produce water for sustenance farming.
If not for situations of political turmoil.
I. E. criminal activity, guerilla warfare, and terrorism. Militant reaction to what certain people feel is injustice, and oppression on the part of their governments.
(Human Nature).
James 4:2 -
"Where do the wars and disputes come from among you? Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and covet, and cannot obtain: You do not have what you want because you do not ask God for it."
Of course, this takes something called "Faith".
All of this is a picture of humanity in the "world".
A fallen situation.
