Your professor is wrong......there are studies that show to solve world hunger would cost £3 billion (makes a mockery of philanthropy, also get a tax break from donations) and a slight change in agriculture.
Maybe one of.the issues might be that a few corporations control food manufacturing. On top of that if you look at what is happening to the agriculture in India, currently able to feed the whole country, the government has let corporations come in, strong arm the farmers and coerce them to sign contracts for GE seeds......and there's a transfer of land from local farmers to corporations. The end result is that India will no longer be self sufficient food wise.
So while population obviously plays a part it's mainly down to political and economic decisions based purely on profit
