Also, I still haven't figured out why exactly I am to be improving say cows to a pasture. I have been improving pretty much everything lately.
I know if there are two cows you get 2 food from that tile plus maybe some gold or whatever. And even without a pasture as long as it is in your city limits, you can still have a citizen work it. Does the pasture just add one green(food)?

, iirc pastures get an additional +1
for a city with a stables built (might still get the latter without the pasture). Yields in general are low enough though, that every +1 helps.
