Personally I think that overpopulation and world hunger are caused by similar things.
Those things involve oppression, lack of free education, cultures and religions which disregard women's rights and the selfish and gready leaders who take advantage of those things.

Also...even though there are enough resources on Earth to feed everyone, in order for some people to be rich and living a high life other people need to be kept under the thumb. There is not enough for everyone to be rich. Unfortunately being rich is seen as being successful even if it invloves keeping other people poor.
It's a bit of a complicated subject that does need intense study.
