Individuals that are well suited to the environment reproduce, and those that are not well suited die before they reproduce.

Explanation: When more offspring are born than resources can support, competition occurs and natural selection favors individuals with traits that improve survival and reproduction. The environment doesn't "discover" food or adapt to provide more resources.
