Hi Dasha,
That's an interesting question. The first person to discover food would have been the first person on Earth - because they needed to eat. The first people probably ate what they found - like fruits, berries, bird eggs and things they could catch like fish. No one knows who that was. A grain like wheat called Emmer was probably the first food humans grew - about 19,000 years ago. We don't know the exact person who discovered how to grow Emmer.
Thanks for the great question,
