What does 丰富 mean?
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.

Common phrases with 丰富
Synonyms
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.
Don't confuse 丰富 with
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.
