Answer:
According to Malthusian theory, a high population growth is associated with food problem, i.e., malnutrition and hunger but Bloom and freeman (1998) differ with the theory noting that food problem is more of a problem of poverty and inadequate income than a matter of high population growth. The population and food problem can be solved when income is enough to buy adequate food as prices provide adequate incentives to produce. On the other hand, developing economies would have to export more, receive foreign aid or borrow overseas to meet their increased demand for food by increased imports. A high rate of population growth not only has an adverse impact on improvement in food supplies, but also intensifies the constraints on development of savings, foreign exchange, and human resources.
