:''The total amount of provisions you carry. The average man requires 2 provisions per day and more on difficult terrain. Running out of provisions will lower morale and will eventually lead to your people deserting you before dying of starvation.''
__TOC__
Provisions are food items in ''Battle Brothers''. By default, hired characters require two units of provisions per day. The [[Gluttonous]] and [[Spartan]] traits affect this amount. Each type of provision will spoil after a specific amount of time. More expensive provisions usually take longer to spoil than cheaper provisions. Your mercenaries will always consume  provisions with the least spoil time.

If you fail to feed your mercenaries, their [[mood]] will decrease and after a while and if angered enough they may decide to desert your company.

Food variety may affect your company's mood in different ways. The [[Good Food Variety]] event will boost the mood of your men; the [[No Food Variety]] event, on the contrary, can result in the mood penalty for the mercenaries; [[Fat]] and [[Gluttonous]] are affected stronger than others, while [[Spartan]] brothers are indifferent to provisions variety in any way. [[Gladiator (Background)|Gladiator]]s require high priced provisions to [[Gladiators Food|maintain]] their adequate mood, while [[Lowborn_(Affiliation)|lowborn]] mercenaries are well used to the most basic food around (ground grains). A wide variety of provision types is required to be able to hire the [[The_Cook_(Follower)|follower cook]], while all provision types are necessary for one of the company's [[Have All Provisions|ambition]] completion.

==Notes==
* Base worth is indicated for a provision of 25 units at their highest spoil time value.
* Spoil time is the best value provided for provisions bought at the [[Settlement_buildings#Marketplace|Marketplace]] or looted from greenskins and beasts in the case of Strange Meat.
* Provisions looted from defeated enemies vary dramatically in their remaining spoil time. This is especially true for Strange Meat which most commonly will have only a day or two before spoiling.
* [[The Cook (Follower)|The follower Cook]] makes all provisions last 3 extra days.
