There are people who like building, people who like pvping, and well face it...people who LOVE trolling and griefing, but there are also people who like farming. My suggestion is more farming and more recipes to go with the new food items and herbs.
Recipes would add another buffing system besides brew potions and enchantment tables, it would give more use to the cauldron, and maybe open up way for more crafting blocks, like an Oven and Ice Box.
New Work Blocks and Tools
Oven
Would have 2 sets of 9 slots (like a workbench), and a slot for fuel. To cook items you would set the ingredients in the slots and add fuel to cook them into an item. Like bread would now need to be cooked, with two slot sets you could cook two loaves of bread at once, for the same price of coal as it would take one (Bottom and top shelf in the item.)
Ice Box
Adding an ice box would make raw food have a freshness bar, the longer they are held or left in a normal chest the more likely they are to go bad, and then eventually have the same effect as zombie flesh. To fuel an icebox you'd need to get ice blocks to put in the fuel slot or put the chest in a snow biome. [you can get ice blocks with silk touch I believe but an ice pick could always be implemented if needed, for the specific purpose of mining ice]
Recipe Book
The Recipe book would be a half block appearing as an open book that can be set down. Putting items in the slot on the book will tell you if there are any recipes for that item and what other items are needed along with how many skill points can be applied to the item for buffs. (Food items without skill point buffs would fill your food bar with minor buffs) To strengthen buffs, you'd put the finished item in the recipe book slot and apply the buffs like you would on an enchanting table.
Watering Can(Iron, Gold, Diamond)((OPTIONAL))
This would take up one block of water, and depending on what kind of watering can it can water anywhere from 10 blocks to 30 blocks before it needs to be refilled (Iron 10blocks, Gold 15blocks, Diamond 30blocks) Having a watering can makes it so farm blocks do not need to be near a water source, using it on a block will keep it hydrated
Farming
Fruit Trees(Apple, Banana, Orange, Lemon, Peach)
These Trees would work have a higher chance of dropping fruit than a regular tree, you plant them with seeds that will spawn a sapling (Breaking the sapling will drop nothing and waste the seed.) The tree will grow like any other tree. The trees will drop the fruit that it was planted as well as have a new unique wood, that can be made into a new color plank depending on the tree type.
Cocoa Tree
Work the same as fruit trees.
Tomato Plant
Would work like a watermelon somewhat, with a plant that grows tomatos as long as it is hydrated. The tomato would grow on top of the plant (Not to the side like watermelons) Breaking the tomato would make it to drop 1-2 tomatos.
Herbs
Various herbs that could be used in recipes or brewing potions. To harvest herbs you'd need to break the plants like you would wheat, to get seeds and the item itself.
Potato
Planting this in the dirt would grow a flowery bush to harvest the potato, you would need to break the plant and dig out the block under it which would have the potatos in it. Dropping between 1-3 potatos.
Onion Plant
Same Growth as Tomato, 1-2 drop rate
Garlic Plant
Same growth as Tomato, 1-3 drop rate
Rice Plant
Grows into a bush, break plant to harvest 2-5 drop rate
Bean Plant
Grows into a bush, break plant to harvest 2-5 drop rate
Cucumber
Will grow on any open side of the plant, side blocks do not need to be tilled. Can grow as many cucumbers as there are open sides to the plant 1-4. Breaking the cucumber will drop one cucumber.
Spinach
Grows up like sugarcane or cacti, breaking off the tops will let you harvest 1 spinach per a broken block, leaving the bottom block will let the plant continue to regrow.
Corn
Grows up like sugarcane or cacti, breaking off the tops will let you harvest 1 corn cob per a broken block, leaving the bottom block will let the plant continue to regrow.
Cotton
Grows like tomatos, breaking the cotton ontop of the plant drops 1-3 cotton puffs. Cotton can be woven into yarn, or turned into cotton blocks (similar to wool)
AppleWood Log/AppleWood Planks, OrangeWood Log/OrangeWood Planks etc. Each Log would have a new color, the bark of the log would be a natural color brown, grey etc, the core of the log showing the color of the planks giving some people new variants to build with. (AppleWood, Dark Red/Brown. BananaWood, Greenish. OrangeWood, Brown/Orange. LemonWood, Yellowish. PeachWood, Pinkish Brown. CocoaWood, Dark Chocolate Wood)
Salt (Yes this is part of a mod somewhere)
You would harvest salt off beach sand near water, it would act as a snow layer, breaking it with a shovel would drop 2-5 salt items.
Cotton Block (comes in half blocks)
3 cotton balls = 1 cotton block. Cotton work like Wool blocks with added features like soft landing. Jumping onto cotton blocks minimizes falling damage, running boats into cotton blocks will prevent the boat from breaking
Yarn
4 cotton balls = 2 yarn. Use Yarn to craft cloth armor, that may eventually be used to make fire/lava resistant magic armor through enchanting, that would provide zero protection to physical weapon damage or explosions.
I know it is a lot, though if not a new update it would at least make a neat mod. Make as many suggestions as you like for things to be added or removed.
Think about that food thing,it would be hated by people who just started a world with food.
What do you mean? It is an optional thing, if you wanted you could just stick to murdering pigs if you wanted and eatting what you find. Farming is just another fun thing to add into minecraft for the people who like farming games.

Cocoa Bean plants are already there if you had read that you'd have noticed =p
