When to research
The broad Food effect is useful when the economy already spans Mills, Farms, Food Rice Paddies, Food Fields or Food Haciendas. It also improves Hacienda automatic Food output. The 400 Wood, 200 Coin and 60-second commitment is substantial for an Exploration Age purchase, so protect the Trading Post or Tambo access and ensure the affected sources can operate for the full payback period.
