Since about the time I started playing this game I’ve been thinking about one question in particular. A day ago or something like that a friend of mine made a bet with me about this so I thought a better ask. The question would be: how many ups are necessary to make the efficiency of farms equal or better than hunting (with HD ofc). My friend claims that it is impossible to get food faster from farms than from hunting using only the standard upgrades (not winter harvest etc.). Anyone knows anything about this?

IIRC, your friend's right. Do you also include Husbrandry for farming?

Not to mention you don't have to have hour farmers walk long distances to go to the next farm, it is infinite if it does not get destroyed plus farming requires no micro so I would definitely rather be farming than hunting at some of the later stages of the game.
Another question I've never bothered figuring out that the thread starter reminded me of: How about FU fishing (let's say dock distance is like 3 seconds or something [or you can just exclude this if it is not needed or whatever])?

For Odin/Thor (with Skadi):
FU Fishing = 1.04 food/sec (same as FU Farming)

DQ obviously knows that; I once did a test to see how much Husbandry affects the quantity of food collected from farming and the result was about 13-14% (more food collected) iirc.
Besides, FU Isis farming rate = 0.93 while FU hunting = 0.99 so not a big difference.
