Why do you think world hunger and overpopulation are linked ?

🤔our professor argues there is a link, I don't think so...

Your professor is wrong, or at least oversimplifying things.

Obviously if you have more people than you have food that's a problem, but we have a distribution problem. Food is produced en masse and then shipped to rich countries, where like 40% of it is thrown out. Not to mention all the arable land used to produce luxury goods rather than staple crops.

That's a problem with capitalism, not population.
