Does a growing population really mean less food to go around?

This interesting little cartoon educational video shows how it may not be a huge or growing population that means less food resources for everyone.

It seems there’s plenty of food, but due to issues like war, road infrastructure not being what it could be, and poverty, poor under nourished people cannot access food, or people trying to get them food cannot transport the food to them.

The video suggests that less hungry people is not going to get the remaining hungry people fed, unless the real problems are addressed, like building better roads and having less wars.

Unfortunately nothing much can be done about natural disasters other than building houses further away from the edges of the ocean (in the case of tidal waves) and building stronger buildings (in the case of mild earthquakes.) (Just my ideas, this paragraph.)

I believe that better education would also play a big part in reducing many problems the world encounters everyday, including hunger.
