Have no idea if the pic is from China, but during a trip there, I saw people growing vegetables in the most incredible ways, lots of apartments with plastic bucket gardens and such. My favorite was this hutong courtyard building where we did a cooking class as a tourist thing—the courtyard had a trellis over it for sun blocking, but the trellis was grown out by a bunch of different types of squash—such a neat combo because the squash leaves were great at max blocking direct sun, and there were all these perfectly spherical squash hanging overhead. The cook grabbed one off a vine during the class for the recipe we were making. Have wanted to try that method ever since.

They can actualy survive surprisingly well if those are drought-tolerant plants like succulents or herbs, but she'd need to water more frequently since the small pots will dry out fast in that direct sun exposure.

Found this on a wiki page on Giant miscanthus.

Land use chart

Tldr; Less than 50% of 'suitable' land is in use.

I suspect their definition of suitable is also pretty narrow.

Back when my wife and I were at our apartment. we had just about every surface that faced a window filled with plants. It was great.
