Morphology
feed + into
The sense 'to contribute to or provide information that affects something' follows directly from combining 'feed' (to give material or information) with 'into' (indicating direction/introduction into something), so the image of putting input into a system is compositional. This verb+preposition pattern is common and cross-linguistically familiar, making the meaning predictable for a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
Feed into comes from the simple image of small streams joining a larger river or workers putting parts into a machine; people feed water or material into something so the small things become part of it. So, feed into means 'to add to' or 'help shape' a larger thing.
