The belief that population growth tends to outstrip expansion of food production, leading to natural curbs on the population such as famine and war, is called: malthusianism.

The term malthusianism stands for the idea that population tends to increase faster, at a geometrical ratio, than the means of

subsistence, which increases at an arithmetical ratio.

This results in an inadequate supply of the goods.
