 ===== Overview =====
-The **Weekly Food Basket (WFB)** is the ration pack issued to citizens of the [[federal_confederation|Federal Confederation]] for **breakfast and dinner**, complementing lunch meals served at [[federal_canteen|Federal Canteens]] and school/work cafeterias. The program is overseen by the [[federal_allotment_agency|Federal Allotment Agency]] (FAA), calculated by [[gaia|GAIA]] under the Annual Plan, produced by the [[federal_food_plant|Federal Food Plant]] (FFP), and distributed via local [[federal_allottment-center|Federal Allotment Centers (FACs)]]. Movement of WFB consignments follows **permitted corridors** and sealed-manifest handovers managed with the [[federal_courier_service|Federal Courier Service]].

 ===== Historical Context =====
-Instituted after the [[great_war|Great War]] during the transition to the [[the_gamma_age|Gamma Age]], the WFB replaced Beta Age private markets with a centralized, vegetarian supply in line with the [[peace_treaty|Peace Treaty]]. [[cecile_maillard|Cecile Maillard]] championed the basket model as a fair, low-energy distribution mechanism; its standardization is sometimes nicknamed the “**Maillard basket**.”
