Original Kurzfassung:
Food became a scarce ? and thus decisive ? resource for the Habsburg Empire?s warfare. Agricultural production in Austria-Hungary dramatically deteriorated due to causes more or less related to the war. The consumers? shrinking food supply reflected not only the declining amount of foodstuffs available to the Habsburg Empire, but also their unequal distribution at state, provincial, regional and local levels. Everyday struggles for food fostered the fragmentation of wartime society ? with effects that lasted far beyond the war period.
