The ISAFIS Digest #6 : The 2021 North Korean Food Shortage

One must admit that stories regarding North Korea are rarely present in the typical newscast. An infamous hermit country that takes pride in its nuclear projects and authoritarian government, seeing North Korea experiencing something sentimental and tragic seems alien to some people. However, that is exactly what happened during the midweeks of June. The once haughty and mighty North Korea was forced to acknowledge a reality that made them seem weak in the knees. But what exactly happened in North Korea?

In this ISAFIS Digest, Audrey of ISAFIS’ RnD showcases how Kim Jong-Un’s acknowledgement of the country’s food crisis should be taken seriously.
