Why wasn't Lenin able to achieve his goal of feeding his people?

Lenin struggled to feed the Russian population primarily due to the devastation caused by World War I and the subsequent Civil War, which disrupted agricultural production and distribution. The War Communism policy, which included the requisitioning of grain from peasants, led to widespread resentment and reduced agricultural output. Additionally, economic chaos, lack of infrastructure, and harsh winter conditions further exacerbated food shortages. These factors combined made it difficult for Lenin to achieve his goal of adequately feeding the populace.
