I'm having a problem here, where my guys are all starving, hunting for vermin, etc. even though i have a massive stockpile full of food barrels. I have tried to remedy it as a pathing issue by unlocking all doors and moving the stockpile to a few different locations, but they still won't touch it! In fact, the farmers are still taking seeds from one barrel!

Anyone found a solution to this? My fort is dying

Make sure there is actually food in the barrels.
Make sure the barrels of food aren't tasked for moving around (forbid and unforbid while they are on a valid stockpile)
Make sure dwarves can get to the food barrels.

Thats all I can think of that would stop dwarves from being able to eat.

Make sure the food and stockpiles aren't outside, if you have 'dwarves cannot go outside' turned on (

• menu).  Make sure 'Dwarves gather food' is on (not sure if that affects this).

Really make sure they can path to the barrels.  If you set up a food stockpile somewhere you /know/ the dwarves can reach (i.e, where they're catching vermin) and set it to take from the current one, do they start moving barrels there?  You may have a locked door, or edge of a workshop in the way.

Also make sure that if it is fish, that its processed. I had that problem... all of my dwarves were miserable and many going insane and I couldnt figure out why.
