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.
