A small addition:
Up to a certain point, it IS possible to produce moore food than your troops need.
1) 1x Stone Building, 1x Iron Building, 1x Lumber Building, Rest = Farms.
2) Skill your Hero: (a) Food Production III , (b) Food Production II , (c) Food Production I
3) Try to aquire epic or legendary gear that gives +XXX% Food prodution.
4) Use +50% (or even +100%) Food Production Booster from Clan Shop / Shop
5) Use +50% (or even +100%) Resource Production Booster from Clan Shop / Shop
6) Use "Reduced Troop Food Consumption" Boosters from Shop
You can reach pretty insane levels of Food per Hour.
Question that i have here is: Why would you invest into that route? ^^
Your troops don't need food. I have only one farm in my town. I get my food when I need it by the methods listed by CORGI_VIKING. If I end up with extra that I cant us at that moment, then I put it in our Strong Hold or if I cant do that for whatever reason. I simply give it to a fellow clan member.

YOU HAVE THAT MUCH FOOD ... only time you don't have food is if it shows ... 0 ... zip ... nul ...
