We need to be careful with the words here.
Not much in the way of food is produced by people who live in what I would term "remote" areas.
Lots of food is produced by people who live in what I would term "rural" areas.
We can and should and must provide improved communications services to rural areas - I think we have a moral imperative to do so. The remote areas, however, are a different story. If they happen to end up being serviced by e.g. Starlink then great, but I don't think we have the same moral imperative there.
