What happens if a community does not have enough food?

Answer 1

Malnutrition.

Malnutrition is the most obvious answer; not eating enough food results in starvation, which in turn causes death; death is not immediate, but eventually your body will begin to digest itself, which causes death; during this period, the "victim" will have little energy, which can lead to less repopulation because they will have no energy.
