When we intervene to send food to people who live in a region where food cannot grow we upset the balance of the region's sustainability and its population.

On the flip side, stabilization of those region's economies, political systems, and populations would allow for mechanization and technological improvements in their food production capabilities, eventually allowing such a region to feed itself many times over.

Remember, the Great Plains were once called the Great American desert because no food could be grown in the hard soil. Now, it's the breadbasket of the world thanks to technology. The same could very well happen in sub-saharan Africa, India, and Bangladesh.
There may someday come a time when innovation no longer finds a way to increase productivity, sustainability, and efficiency to keep up with population growth, but that time is not now, nor is that time even close at hand.
