I believe the answer is:

forage

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'find enough food' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'for a long time?' is the wordplay.
'a long time?' becomes 'age' (an age is a period of time).
'for'+'age'='FORAGE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for forage that I've seen before include "Search around for food" , "Collect food" , "Look for food" , "Military raid" , "Go searching, perhaps for food" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
