A farm with max farmers should feed your initial population easily, assuming the water for the farm is nearby and you produce enough water.
This is not a difficult game on normal difficulty.

I'm not sure what a harvester is, but you certainly don't need compost. I don't usually bother with compost until late game when I'm running out of space. You should have zero issues feeding your people.

I wouldn't think you'd need something to tell you how much food you'd need? How many people do you have? You need at a minimum, that much. I try to make sure I have enough for at least 10 days out, because sht happens and it's good to have a backlog while you figure it out.

If the tutorial is useless, then just don't use it. You're free to figure it all out on your own, if you wish.

I am still playing the tutorial and my people start starving. What again is the point of the tutorial, if not to teach me how much food i need? It didn't even tell me to make a ♥♥♥♥ harvester and composter for my farms, instead it prioritized getting upgrades!

I think it would be better to remove the tutorial, instead of having one that doesn't go over the basics of the game.

The only thing I can think you're doing wrong could be you're making multiple different types of food. Say you have 10 of every piece of food, that would feed 10 people but make them very happy, where as having 10 of one type of food would also feed 10 people but not make them very happy. More food types increases happiness but doesn't increase the amount of people you can feed.

I've not played in quite a while so idk if they fixed berry bushes but they are OP, even late game I made a huge patch of them and just get all my free guys to harvest and sell to the traders when they come. You can pretty much buy your way through the rest of the game.

The game told me that my farm needs compost, which i didn't get because the tutorial didn't tell me that i need it! Why is there a tutorial if i don't learn this from it?

The game doesn't tell you that your farm needs compost. It tells you that you can upgrade if you would like to use compost. You never have to.
