Make the situation safe in order to feed us (6)
I believe the answer is:
defuse
'make the situation safe in order to feed us' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'in order to feed us' is the wordplay.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'order to' indicates anagramming the letters (a different order to the letters).
'feed' with letters rearranged gives 'defe'.
'defe' enclosing 'us' is 'DEFUSE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for defuse that I've seen before include "Make (a bomb) inactive" , "Make less dangerous" , "Remove the triggering device" , "Feed us (anag)" , "Render bomb or situation harmless" .)
