This will happen at least once per day, per pawn.

Nutrient paste meals are created at a powered nutrient paste dispenser instantly, using 0.3 nutrition of any food inside its hoppers. Typically, nutrient paste meals are dispensed by a hungry pawn and then immediately eaten; they can't be produced by work bill, and animals won't use a dispenser.

At 300% nutritional efficiency, Nutrient paste is the most efficient way to prepare a meal. Compared to the next best method, simple and fine meals with 180% efficiency, paste gives 66.67% more food.

As a rough rule of thumb - 25 tiles of rice / potatoes / corn, in ordinary soil, is enough to feed a single colonist in Losing is Fun indefinitely, when: They are cooked into and eaten as simple meals. A grower's Plants skill is competent; 6 Plants is enough.

Hoppers act like a stockpile zone, but can only hold raw food other than hay. Unlike with most other haul tasks, hauling to a food hopper is considered both a "Cook" and a "Hauling" work job. Otherwise, it works like any other stockpile zone - you can click the "Storage" tab to select priority and stored items.

When you are looking to feed your growing colony by the mid-game and beyond, the best thing you can do is begin to plant corn. The very best food crop in the game, corn offers you large stacks of food for a minimal amount of work needed, making it ideal for busy bases that have labor shortages.

Harvesting a mature crop plant generally produces more nutrition than letting an animal directly consume the living plant, except in cases where the harvesting colonists have exceptionally low plant harvest yield stats.

Mobile prisoners can use a nutrient paste dispenser that faces into their prison. Otherwise, wardens will bring any food allowed by their food restrictions. A prisoner's medical settings, as well as defaults for all prisoners, can be adjusted in their Health tab.

After researching Packaged Survival Meals, they can be crafted at a fueled stove or electric stove with 0.3 nutrition of vegetarian ingredients and 0.3 nutrition of meat.

Baby food can be cooked at a Campfire, Electric stove, or Fueled stove. Each batch of 10 requires 0.25 nutrition from non-Hay vegetables and 450 ticks ( 7.5 secs ) of work. Alternatively, baby food can be made in batches of 40 at the cost of 1 nutrition and 1,800 ticks ( 30 secs ) of work.

Make Grow and Plant cut 1 on the work tab for your farmers. Colonists will automatically harvest plants and trees when ready. There's no need to micromanage unless you need them right this second. Plant cut only applies to chopping down trees and cutting/harvesting crops that you manually choose to be harvest, though.
