Poor or Failed Food Harvest

In agriculture, the term "crop failure" is used to describe a situation in which crop yields are lower than expected. It indicates that the crop harvest was significantly lower than in previous years, and that the yield was not as good as expected. The corresponding term is "good harvest", which is used to describe a situation in which crop yields are higher than expected. The term "poor harvest" is used to describe a poor crop, vegetable, fruit or aquatic product harvest with a lower yield. According to agricultural industry practice and usage, the term "crop failure" should be used to accurately describe a lower than expected crop yield.
