Final answer:

Neo-Malthusians believe famine results from increasing population, while Critics and Cornucopians offer alternative views on the relationship between population and resources.


Explanation:

Neo-Malthusians believe that famine is due to increasing population and that the environment is naturally curbing the population. They argue that resource depletion and environmental degradation may lead to famine or war, which represents a Malthusian crisis.

Critics of Malthus point out that widespread famines he predicted have not occurred due to advances in agricultural technology, leading to a belief that there is currently enough food on Earth if distributed appropriately, contrary to Malthusian projections.

Cornucopian theory contrasts Malthusian views by emphasizing human ingenuity in solving environmental and social issues, asserting that technological advancements and innovation can address challenges posed by population growth, such as food supply.
