Answer:

A population would grow faster than its ability to feed itself.

Explanation:

According to Thomas Malthus, overpopulation is the cause of the problems faced by human beings. He attributed diseases, malnutrition, and poverty to overpopulation.

Malthus argues that while resources grow at a steadfast pace, the population was increasing exponentially. He concludes that, if not checked, the human population will become too large to be supported by the earth's resources.
