The Irish potato famine, the Irish great Irish famine, the famine from 1845 to 1949, the Irish famine from 1845 to 1949, and the potato harvest have failed for several years. Crop failures are caused by diseases that destroy plague, potato leaves and edible roots and tubers. The causative agent of the plague is Phytophthora infestans. Famine in Ireland was the worst famine in Europe in the 19th century. In the early nineteenth century, tenant farmers in Ireland provided their own resources, especially in the West of Ireland, and offered cereals for the UK market. Many farmers have been on a self-sufficiency level for a long time because their distribution is narrow, and in some areas it is difficult to use the land for agriculture.
