Nie do każdego kontekstu będzie to pasować, ale zaliczyłeś swoje pytanie do kategorii General, nie Agriculture, więc może. Może to oznaczać klęskę urodzaju w znaczeniu: czegoś jest tak dużo, że nie wiadomo, co z tym zrobić, ale również wszelkie nieszczęścia wynikające z nadmiaru, zob. przykłady. "Klęska urodzaju" jest rzeczą jednorazową, "curse of abundance" może być stanem długotrwałym, ale ogólnie wydźwięk jest ten sam.

The "Curse" of Abundance

Throughout must of human history and in most parts of the world today, food was/is scarce. Where food is scarce, the presence of food is blessing. Where it is abundant (like in America), too much of it becomes a curse.

The truth is that the abundant food we have in America is killing us. It has become a very vicious cycle. We overeat and get fat. We are fat so we risk our health, money, and maybe our lives on fad weight loss solutions.

But Christ, as well as the church, recognizes other forms of abundance to be dreaded, or received with all caution. There is a fullness and plenty that may engross, ensnare and even destroy. Not all abundance is to be desired. There was a time when waters prevailed; when the floods lifted up their hands and smote the earth with the fullness of their power. Water abounded, but men died! The abundance of the watery element had its equalizing term in the multitudes of perishing human beings. Then we recall an abundance of a peculiar kind that came to the Jews in the wilderness. It consisted of quails. The people loathed angel's food, the bread which God sent like the dew; they wanted flesh, and that in plenty. and it came! God swept the quails over them in clouds and poured them down like rain. The birds covered the tents and were in piles and hillocks all over the ground. The *curse of abundance* was upon them. They sat down to eat, and judgment sat down with them! The food came out of their nostrils and they died with the meat between their teeth.
