Confused about Too Busy to Eat

[CthuluIsSpy]

What exactly counts as a food improvement?
I ask because a couple of unique Sower improvements affect food; Inorganic Cultivation gives both Industry and Food (green banner on icon) and Elegant Networks gives a massive +30 approval but it also gives +10% food production. Will that void it?

What about planetary institute? It's a rainbow banner improvement and it gives all of the FIDS. Will that count against it too?

I'm finding conflicting information about this achievement; some people say it's anything that provides food, and others say that it's only the green banner ones.

It just seems odd to me to have an achievement that bars food production when a couple of unique Sower research options affects food.

usually a food improvement is designated with a green marker in the upper right corner of the icon. Planetary institue would count as a food improvement. Elegant networks tho is not. Its food bonus is an empire effect depending on your approval rating.

Neither example you provided is sower-specific either. But even if they were we are still talking about an achievement which isnt standard practice or rule set for matches when picking the Sowers.

Inorganic Cultivation Gives you industry iper Population on Planets with a Temple (It's a rare anomaly.) Elegant Networks it's an improvement on Approval, the food gain isn't basic, it comes from the increased approval. Planetary Institute probably refers to “food” as well, and it doesn't need to be built for this achievement.
