> If root vegetables are a necessity for the environment

People in some environments eat roots, some eat seeds. Potato vs rice. There is no single ag solution that applies across the globe.

Increased rice production means nothing to areas that don't eat fucking rice

You are greatly misunderstanding the point of coupling hydroponics and vitromeat tech if you are worried about different regional dietary practices. There is no reason why different regions of the world couldn't grow different crops and meat based off their cultural practices. Food facilities simply means more food growing options, including crops that typically aren't grown in a region because the growth environment is contained and not typically susceptible to weather. All it does is open the door to more types of food including the ones already in the region.
