Once in the area, you will have mini-games with unlocks for your menu, collectables for your backpack, and information pertaining to that area for your codex.
Ie. In the vegetable garden, you collect earthworms that you can later use for fishing.
Once you’ve discovered and learned about a food item, it is unlocked in your menu and can be used to create a meal.

Planting and harvesting crops [using collectable seeds and tools that you find during gameplay]
Classifying foods by type (Ie. Tomato is a fruit)
Matching foods to benefits/nutrition (Ie. Carrot & Eyes)
