No, fleeing because you'd otherwise starve is what our neoliberal government calls an "economic migration".
You're only a legit refugee when your government is trying to kill you directly, like right now. In that case, you can apply for asylum, but please do so before leaving your country, and allow 5-10 years for processing your application.
