Food

Food is the most critical resource in the game. Your population consumes food daily, and running out triggers a Food Shortage event that causes theft and work stoppages. Food can be produced directly from fields, fisheries, foraging, or through processing chains (Flour → Bakery, Milk → Creamery).
