Not surprising, Africa is really big and has a shitton of arable land and a long growing season.

I enjoy long term predictions. In 500 years rice will replace bread because of wind changes and water levels
Numbers for Africa are wrong. It assumes a decreasing growth rate, however in the past 60 years African population growth has been consistent. Using current numbers the projected population of Africa is 7 billion by 2100.

And what makes you think the population of Africa will keep increasing at its current rate for the next 8 decades?
The African Population growth hasn't slowed down at all in the past 70 years. Neither war nor famine prevented them from reproducing. The embodiment of R selected evolutionary strategy. Because africans don't care about the quality of their offsprings life, the only limiting factor for African reproduction is food production and we are not projected to hit a shortage even at 7 billion.
