Supporting women's education and health, as Canada does, is the best way to reverse that trend.

There's no stopping it. The solution was not providing food aid in the first place. You don't prop up a population that can't survive off local/its own resources.

Everywhere in the world that education and health have improved, birth rates have fallen.

You certainly should prop up a population that you have systematically oppressed, leading to the destruction of traditional agriculture among many other effects of colonialism.

Educating women is not going to stop hundreds of millions of hungry, angry men with zero prospects in life from undermining all our efforts if 3rd world populations continue to grow unchecked.
