The state is prone to floods, landslides, and droughts, which can damage crops and livestock. In addition, the state&#8217;s mountainous terrain makes it difficult to access markets, which can lead to higher prices for food. Finally, post-harvest losses are a major problem in Meghalaya, due to poor storage and transportation facilities. As a result of these factors, food availability in Meghalaya is often limited.<\/p>\n<p>Climate variability and natural disasters can have a devastating impact on food production in Meghalaya. Floods can wash away crops, landslides can destroy fields, and droughts can kill livestock. In 2018, for example, floods and landslides caused an estimated $1 billion in damage to crops and infrastructure in Meghalaya. This damage led to a shortage of food and a sharp increase in prices.<\/p>\n<p>Limited market access is another major factor that affects food availability in Meghalaya. The state&#8217;s mountainous terrain makes it difficult to transport food to markets, which can lead to higher prices. In addition, the state&#8217;s small population means that there is a limited demand for food, which can also <div class=\"youtube-subscribe-container\">\r\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCNHT8lW-JmLC68rjBfZhdkg?sub_confirmation=1\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"youtube-subscribe-button\">\r\n            <span class=\"youtube-icon\">\r\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 576 512\">\r\n                    <path d=\"M549.7 124.1c-6.3-23.7-24.8-42.3-48.3-48.6C458.8 64 288 64 288 64S117.2 64 74.6 75.5c-23.5 6.3-42 24.9-48.3 48.6-11.4 42.9-11.4 132.3-11.4 132.3s0 89.4 11.4 132.3c6.3 23.7 24.8 41.5 48.3 47.8C117.2 448 288 448 288 448s170.8 0 213.4-11.5c23.5-6.3 42-24.2 48.3-47.8 11.4-42.9 11.4-132.3 11.4-132.3s0-89.4-11.4-132.3zm-317.5 213.5V175.2l142.7 81.2-142.7 81.2z\"\/>\r\n                <\/svg>\r\n            <\/span>\r\n            Subscribe on YouTube\r\n        <\/a>\r\n    <\/div> lead to higher prices.
