The only consistent use for wasted food is from the End-Tier, "Dust Virtualization" tech. Neither of these are permanent solutions, however. As soon as you build one of those structures, the population cap increase, and you will need food production until you max out again. The other thing you might want to consider is are the +Population improvements, the earliest of which is Endothermic Structures (+1 to small, +2 to tiny). (Though, again, I don't know the exact mechanics) In the short term, you can use the population-capped system to produce colony ships, and though I don't know the details, it seems that some food and production are stored, such that if a population capped system produces a colony ship, the planet will immediately regain its lost population from the "wasted" turns. Making a colony ship will actually remove one unit of population from your system (just as scrapping a colony ship will automatically add one population to the nearest star system, if possible). Two things that bear consideration, however, are Colonists and +Pop system improvements. There is one improvement, late in the East technology tree, that converts 100% of surplus food into industry, but you're much more likely to fully population cap systems before you make it to that point. Stage 3, 4 and 5 of the Economy and Trade tech tree have to be unlocked to access the Basic (L1), Advanced (L2) and Endless System Development Project (元), respectively.
Beyond that, extra food isn't very useful. System Development Projects are a type of System Improvements that increase the system level, boost the system production (FIDSI, approval, manpower, etc.) and unlock Spaceport slots. On its own, this strategic resource increases industry and science production by 2 per and 2 per for the planet it is found on.As fbueckert notes, you only start "wasting" food once the entire system is fully populated. Lastly, Quadrinix is needed to make some of the most advanced structures and ship modules. It is also a requirement for building the "Endless Empire" system improvement which is an alternative scientific victory. Quadrinix plays an important role in the game - it is needed to terraform planet types into an Terran, Ocean and Jungle. The game includes a major plot line and many minor missions, but you can choose whether you want to play through the plot or strike out on your own as a merchant or bounty hunter or explorer. You start out as the captain of a tiny space ship and can choose what to do from there. "A material that exists in phases between matter, anti-matter, and alternate universes, Quadrinix has the highest energy density of any known and containable substance." Endless Sky is a sandbox-style space exploration game similar to Elite, Escape Velocity, or Star Control. Once you have researched the technology, all instances of Quadrinix will be revealed in systems you own or have explored. Quadrinix is the last strategic resource, unlocked by researching Black Hole Mining.
