丰富 (fēngfù) is primarily a Chinese adjective meaning 'rich,' 'abundant,' or 'plentiful' — describing something present in great variety or quantity: experience, knowledge, resources, nutrition, imagination, or a menu (经验丰富 rich in experience, 内容丰富 rich in content).
It can also be used as a verb, 'to enrich' (丰富自己的生活 to enrich one's life). It is register-neutral. English speakers should note that 丰富 refers to abundance and variety, not monetary wealth — a rich person is 有钱 or 富有, never 丰富.
It also usually follows or modifies abstract or countable-in-variety things (丰富的资源) rather than describing flavor intensity, for which Chinese uses 浓 or 醇. As a compliment, 经验丰富 ('experienced') is a very common set phrase.

written
丰盛 specifically describes lavish food or a sumptuous meal (丰盛的晚餐). 丰富 is broader — experience, content, resources. For a big spread of dishes, prefer 丰盛.
充足 means 'sufficient / ample' (阳光充足 ample sunlight) — enough of one thing. 丰富 stresses variety and richness, not just quantity.
富有 means 'wealthy' (having money) or 'full of' (富有想象力 full of imagination). Use 富有 for a rich person; 丰富 describes abundance and variety, not personal wealth.
