Without major equipment failure it would be hard to justify a food shortage from a facility like SALT. All they need to do is make more growing space.
Remembering that it's a TL9 facility and a lot of the variables about production are largely guesses, I would say it's reasonable that a primarily research facility like salt could produce high quality food for 10-20 times as many people who work there. If you reduce the quality then maybe double the production.

Ok scratch that idea. On a similar note, you mention that any closed system will eventually falter. So what's the first major resource that SALT could run out of that wouldn't be unreasonable for a group of PCs to be sent out to obtain.
