Yes, there is a difference between a famine and a drought. A famine is an extreme shortage of food that can lead to death from starvation or disease. A drought is a lack of precipitation in a region over a prolonged period of time. Famines are caused by war, civil unrest, natural disasters, or other human-made causes while droughts are caused by climate change, weather patterns, or other natural causes.
