Allow me to go over my reasoning Magoo! I always feel a well balanced and rational conversation is better than snide remarks and disrespect for others in the community:)

Preserved stores. They likely didn't just pitch a tent and call it home as soon as they landed. The sleeper ships are large, so large infact that over the course of the construction of the first colonies they were confirmed to have been disassembled and used in the construction of the infrastructure on atleast one occasion.

Secondly. First priority on settling a world is to pick a nice pretty one that you can work with, and that means soil samples, environmental scans and analyses and so forth.

Thirdly, by the time that the colony ships were launched humanity had already surpassed our technological state, and then some. They would have known how to manipulate the genetic structure of a plant based organism with relative ease at that point; conservation and preservation of food supplies is a crucial factor when waging a war.

So could please explain to me why my suggestion was so preposterous?

I like your idea, sounds like something the Farmers should be working on.
