Answer: Destroying food resources is more damaging than the use of weapons.

Explanation:

In the aforementioned article, the author explains how using starvation and food insecurity as weapons of war by destroying food resources, can be more damaging than the use of weapons.

Destroying food resources can threaten entire populations as they may starve to death while weapons cannot regularly do so.
