I think this is a bad take. It assumes that Africa is at a carrying capacity and this capacity is being artificially increased by aid.
Im not sure either of those is actually true.

See Kenya, once the bread basket of Africa and now no longer because their leadership kicked out white farmers, gave the land to local Kenyans, and unfortunately those locals even after all these years haven't figured out how to get the yields that the old owners did.
The problem comes down to the locals who are either unwilling or unable to farm effectively at yields that support the population. Then the food aid comes in which is where we're at now.
What were you saying instead?
