Fair enough, it won't happen automatically, but maybe instead of wasting money on subsidising biofuels, building non-effective renewable installations, funding additional border patrol or helping refugees, the rich countries can focus on helping the poor countries to build irrigation infrastructure and to become rich.

irrigation isn't something they will build without reason. Thus biofuels encourage irrigation.
Sadly that's not what happens in practice, currently biofuels encourage cutting down forests and repurposing the land that could be used for normal food production.
