Well, I'd say if we shared more the natural resources it could be easily possible. I am not a specialist though. I'd say there IS a challenge to face with the population growth, but it is possible to face it with success.

Maybe it is my personnal internal resistance, but I find this statement completely incorrect. Saying this to someone of a poor country who comes from a large family, I guess this person would even find this statement very arrogant.
In the USA and Europe, people use maybe 50 times as much water, food, energie as in poor countries. They are the real cause of pollution, and the model of societies they live in, if it is duplicated in the poor countries in the years to come (as it seems it is going to be), will be the cause of the overpopulation being a problem. I don't think they are really more self evolved than the people in anyother country.
