Here is an idea relating to food resources.
Imagine that every grassland or plains tile on the map has a favoured food resource. Maybe it has ideal soil for a particular type of crop such as rice, maize, bananas or wheat, or it could be suited for livestock such as pigs or sheep. Now that we will have the map filter tools you will easily be able to see this on the map using colour coding. The favoured food resource on a particular tile is random but informed to some extent by climate and geography.
Now, you can always build a generic farm on any tile, but if you happen to have access to the favoured food resource, either because you have a wild source within your borders or because you have traded for it with another civilisation, you can build a farm specific to that resource for an extra food bonus. This becomes just like a farmed wild food source and will enable you to trade knowledge of this crop to other civs should you wish to do so.
You could also be encouraged to collect multiple types of food resource and to grow these crops within your city or civilisation for a boost in amenities/happiness/health for each different type. This will depend on how this is handled within Civ 6, but the point is that your people like a variety of food to be available.
This will of course increase micromanagement but the main point is to provide interesting geographical choices now that we have the district system. For example, you might have a tile that is ideal for a science campus, but which is also ideal for a rice farm that will provide lots of food for your city, and you just happen to have a wild source of rice nearby. If wild food resources are made slightly rarer than before it would also encourage you to explore new lands or trade for new types of crop, e.g. if a particular city site has lots of potential for wheat farms but there is no local source of wheat. A bit like in the real world when plants like potatoes were brought from the New World and transformed agriculture in Europe.
