Amartya Sen found no famine occurs in democracies with free press.

Evidence

A remarkable finding by the economist Amartya Sen is that in the history of the world there has never been a famine in a system with a democratic press and free elections. … Sen’s starting point here, which he demonstrates empirically, is that famines are a social product, not an inevitable product of scarcity of food. — David E Pozen; Michael Schudson, Troubling Transparency- The History and…, 921
