It's a spacer thing. People who've spent most of their time in space -- or even more so, if they were born there -- think that dirt is gross and food is something that should come out of a carton. The idea of growing food is just weird. Most of it is ported either from planetside or farmstations.
The Lacuna can't afford to import everything. They need to become self-sustaining. That means creating a renewable food source. But it is going to make spacers look at them funny, and even a lot of people in the Lacuna had to do some serious thinking about supply lines before they realized that this was important and not just a joke to razz somebody about his weird hobby.
