'''Food''' is the most critical [[Resources|resource]] in [[Main Page|Project Rebearth]]. Every housing building and the [[Center]] consume {{Icon|Food}} daily to sustain the population, and running out triggers a [[Food Shortage]] event that inflicts a severe -50% [[Happiness]] penalty. {{Icon|Food}} can be produced directly from [[Field|fields]], [[Fishery|fisheries]], and [[Foraging Hut|foraging huts]], or through processing chains using the [[Bakery]] and [[Creamery]].

[[Field|Fields]] can also grow {{Icon|Grain}} (+0.01/m² for Grain and Maize styles), which is processed by the [[Windmill]] into {{Icon|Flour}} to feed the [[Bakery]].

== Production Chains ==
=== Bakery Chain ===
{{Chain|Grain|Field|Grain|Windmill|Flour|Bakery|Food|title=Bakery Chain}}

The Bakery chain is the most productive way to generate {{Icon|Food}} from farming. [[Field|Fields]] grow {{Icon|Grain}} at +0.01/m², the [[Windmill]] converts 100 {{Icon|Grain}}/day into 100 {{Icon|Flour}}/day (5 workers), and the [[Bakery]] converts 50 {{Icon|Flour}}/day into 100 {{Icon|Food}}/day (2 workers). This 2:1 conversion ratio at the Bakery makes it extremely efficient.

=== Creamery Chain ===
{{Chain|Milk|Field|Milk|Creamery|Food|title=Creamery Chain}}

The Creamery chain converts {{Icon|Milk}} from animal fields into {{Icon|Food}}. [[Field|Fields]] with goats produce +0.01 {{Icon|Milk}}/m² and fields with cows produce +0.005 {{Icon|Milk}}/m². The [[Creamery]] converts 50 {{Icon|Milk}}/day into 50 {{Icon|Food}}/day (5 workers). The 1:1 conversion ratio is less efficient than the Bakery chain, but goat fields also produce {{Icon|Food}} directly alongside {{Icon|Milk}}.

|}

{{Icon|Food}} is also consumed when launching [[Expeditions]] at a rate of 100 {{Icon|Food}} per 1,000 hectares explored.

== Other Sources ==
{{Icon|Food}} can be purchased from other players or NPC orders through the [[Market]] (up to 1,000 capacity) or the [[Port]] (up to 5,000 capacity). Buying {{Icon|Food}} through trade is often the fastest way to recover from a [[Food Shortage]], though it requires {{Icon|Coin}}.

Running out of {{Icon|Food}} triggers the [[Food Shortage]] event, which inflicts a -50% [[Happiness]] penalty. This can cascade into [[Strike|strikes]], further reducing production and making recovery more difficult.
