Sure, in a hypothetical world. But in the real world, what percentage of our crops are currently being grown under UV bulbs? It's a vanishingly tiny percentage. The problem is not that it's impossible to grow without sunlight. The problem is that it's impossible to transition to a low-sunlight world without a few years of global famine and a massive human die-off.
