'Just improve your skills' is the most detached from reality tropes from the privileged.   How, get better at your current job which you are already proficient?  Uproot your life at great expense and move to a more expensive neighborhood?  Stop working and pay for schooling in addition to your bills with money you don't have?  Spend all your free time schooling part time with money you don't have?  Quit your job and start at the bottom of another career for less money?  Employers will hire the younger or experienced applicant anyway and you can't prove discrimination.

Maybe growing crops other than turnips would be a good alternative that would result in more crops people wanted to eat.

I made turnips, yellow potatoes and scallions into a mash. Great stuff.

Grate your turnips and ferment them like you would to make sauerkraut. You're welcome.

She says consumers should cherish home-grown produce.

Ok, how does this help address the lack of produce? And turnips are a vegetable, so is there some kind of turnip surplus at the moment?

There is a shortage of vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers that need to either be grown abroad or grown in the UK in heated greenhouses to be affordable. She is suggesting that people rely more on vegetables better suited to the UK climate, such as turnips. It's not really as absurd as headlines may make it seem at first glance.
