Morphology
The meaning 'customs and practices related to food' is compositionally derived from 'food' (what is eaten) + 'culture' (shared customs and practices). This noun–noun combination is semantically transparent and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Food culture comes from the simple idea that food (what people eat) and culture (shared habits) go together: imagine families, markets, and festivals where recipes and ways of eating are passed down. That's why the phrase means the 'customs and practices' around food in a place.
