Stylistic Inversion

This book titled "EcoJustice Education: Toward Diverse, Democratic, and Sustainable Communities" has this sentence:




On the positive side of this system is the seemingly infinite variety of produce available (to those who can pay) all year long, which many of us now simply take for granted.




What does the main clause in bold mean?





(1) On the positive side of this system is the seemingly infinite variety of produce that is available (to those who can pay) all year long



(2) On the positive side of this system, the seemingly infinite variety of produce is available (to those who can pay) all year long




If only one of these interpretations is correct, why is the other incorrect?
