The Pacte de Famine (French pronunciation: [pakt də famin], Famine Pact) was a conspiracy theory adopted by many living in France during the 18th century. It held that foods, especially grain, were intentionally withheld from them for the benefit of privileged interest groups.^[1] The French obtained much of their nourishment from grain at the time.^[2]
