Perhaps you are referring to "food lines". They happen when demand for food outstrips the food supply. These can happen in preparation for a pending disaster - such as a hurricane - or as an after-effect of a disaster. Buying limits might be imposed in those situations to prevent hoarding and is referred to as "rationing".

How food is traded as a commodity?

It's not. This sounds kinda weird, doesn't it? After all, there's a huge building in Chicago with "Chicago Mercantile Exchange" written on the sign out front where food commodities are traded, but they don't actually trade food. What is traded, when food traders gather to do what they do, is derivatives (specifically, futures, forwards and options) with foodstuffs underlying. If you go to CME and buy a Rough Rice Futures Contract, you are agreeing to purchase five truckloads of rough rice (unmilled rice) on a certain date for a certain price. Or if you buy an option on rough rice, you're allowed but not required to buy those five truckloads of rice on that date for that price.
