The other name for this overshoot - where a life form expands to the point that the environment can no longer support them, for whatever reason. Threats to the food supply include plant diseases, climate collapse, pollution, and over-harvesting the soil. We're doing all these.
That's the phase humans are in now, overshoot. But there's no food shortage for now. There's only greed and refusal to feed everyone.

A vent about EU citizenship.
My ancestors came over, destitute, in a boat, from Ireland in the 1840's famine.
At that time Ireland was in the UK so no citizenship was needed. They faced immense discrimination, poverty, and died in the Workhouse. The slum they lived in was studied by Engels, and demolished in the 1960's.
The country they came from is now still in the EU.
Because nobody applied for Irish citizenship back then, I and my children cannot apply..

An old photo inspires Declan McSweeney to explore the history of the Irish Famine. Stories of human kindness add nuance to a great tragedy.

@VannaBlack Also, it looks like this 2020 documentary, The Hunger, is about a time within this ~100 year period:
