I wonder if that could be solved more easily. Build sufficient rail network and hydrogen/electric/other zero-carbon trucks to move produce from production to there and then train it in. And this is really a sector we could fully automated almost already.

Switch hydrogen for methane and produce that methane in a bioreactor from the food scraps. These technologies are already here, no need to wait for a future hydrogen car.
Also, building a zero-carbon transport system would be generally useful for transporting things other lettuce. And that's probably like 80% of the way toward a zero-carbon transit system. I think you have a good point.
