It makes Atlas/Mantle's survival more believable, since if plant Dust can be used to grow crops, or at least something edible, then that might have made up for a lack of natural vegetation. With earth dust for soil, fire Dust for heat, and water Dust for obvious reasons, suddenly suriviving in the least hospitiable climates on the planet is a bit more believable.

Mind you, making the city fly and people thinking Weiss wouldn't feel the cold are still stupid, but at least there's an explanation for how they might have enough to eat with closed borders.
