Recently, young people in the workplace have begun to “plant land”, although their “land” is a place of work. In a beijing business office, the table, the balcony is full of pellets and vegetables such as tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers are grown in addition to green gardening。
Some employees say that the tomato is a “worker” and that watching the plant change slowly from green to green can reap full motivation to work. It is worth mentioning that the “workspace gardening” has set fire to the consumer market for indoor planting and that seed companies have developed the corresponding “planting kits”。
I can't believe how good it is to grow food
The planting of vegetables is a “natural medicine” for natural healing and benefits physical and mental health。
Care and pressure
In the course of growing the vegetables, it is close to nature, listening to its sounds, which can effectively relieve the body and body, reduce the heart rate and blood pressure. A follow-up report by the agricultural university of china on a sample of 23,760 people, published in 2026, shows that 15-25 minutes of light-scale work per day, for 30 days, has a clear auxiliary relief effect on patients with primary hypertension (constriction of 140 mm-hg or suffocation of 90 mm-hg)。
Cancer resistance
In 2023, a study on the health of the lancet planet visited 291 people who had been tested and found that the risk of cancer and chronic diseases had decreased among the population growing vegetables for long periods of time. In addition, continuous seedlings are more active, cell ageing is slow, and their physiological state is between 8 and 10 years old。
The depressive sleep
The health hazards of the present generation are not only physical diseases, but psychological stress — anxiety, depression, insomnia, mental insulation. The key to solving these problems lies in the land, which is internationally recognized as “horticultural therapy” (farm healing)。
The study found that 30 minutes per day of planting, and an average of 37 per cent reduction in stress hormone cortex after three weeks, had a better effect of depression than meditation. After 30 minutes of agricultural work, saliva cortex levels fell by 20 per cent, brain alphabot was boosted by 40 per cent, effectively reducing anxiety, improving sleep and avoiding insomnia。
Vitamin d supplementation, enhanced immunity
When growing outdoor vegetables, the human body is fully exposed to sunlight, helping to synthesize vitamin d and helping to regulate the immune system. At the same time, it is beneficial to the immune system to plant vegetables in contact with the soil, where microorganisms can enter the human body through the respiratory tract and skin。
In addition, scientific data show that children who play often in the earth have more microbes on their skin and more immune
New on space vegetable garden
“vehicle freedom” in antarctica
In far-off antarctica and space, “cropping land” provides not only emotional value, food value and full scientific value。
For the first time, in november 2016, the shenzhou xi crew successfully planted raw vegetables using the “space mini greenhouse”. From the initial spinach cultivation to the present life cycle cultivation of rice and wheat, chinese astronauts are well equipped with plant cultivation techniques in microgravity environments。
In the previous period, the space garden had been “new”! There were lettuces, sweet potatoes, mints, etc. Every time a vegetable matures, astronauts would keep roots on a rotational basis so that a raw vegetable could produce sustainably。
Researchers in antarctica have also achieved “vegetative freedom” through “cropping land”. At the central mount of antarctica station in china, there is a greenhouse shed of more than a dozen square metres in which a wide variety of vegetables, such as cucumbers and lettuce, are grown inside, and there is ice and snow, which is so green and so permeable that it is “excellent”。
The greenhouses use soilless cultivation techniques to grow from seeds, so that the vegetables are wet by lightning every day, the nutrients are added and heaters are controlled according to temperature. According to the staff, growing vegetables in antarctica is no less simple than having a surgical operation, and today, the need to replenish fresh vegetables is met by regular harvesting。
Growing land is a better life
Workspaces, space, antarctica... Chinese are everywhere. Behind this is more than just "love to eat" and more than a search for happiness。
More than 300 greenhouses set the herd free
"now, you can eat fresh food for four seasons a year!" the inner mongolia four flags, with 104 km of borders, had a year-round frostless period of less than 120 days, which was once faced with the problem of “eating food” due to high temperatures and drought。
In april 2025, the local “pomegranate seeds' hot room” project was launched and 324 greenhouses were built by pastoralists' homes, which were able to remain above 0°c even in the severe cold below 35°c. Today, the paprika fire, tomato fragrances, and pastoralists have been able to feed their vegetables for four seasons。
I smell fruit and vegetables at 4,600 meters above sea level
"the cucumber bouquets, the onions are so green and the cabbage is so full..." the scene of this vivid event took place in wu qing village, mamy commune, in the tibetan region of ali, at an average altitude of 4,600 metres. As a typical village of high-altitude pedestals, “difficult and expensive food” is a pain that has long afflicted the local population。
A few years ago, under the leadership of the village task force, a model was developed for a suitable planting pipeline for high altitude areas. After daily trials of grinding, fine tubing and so forth, the sheds produce a variety of fresh fruit and vegetables, including watermelons, cucumbers and scavengers. Since then, this high-altitude village, once considered to be “uncultable”, has achieved steady production and self-sufficiency of local fruit and vegetables。
New forms of soilless cultivation to protect the island's “basket”
From the border, the highlands, to the islands and reefs, there are also the sansa yong xing island, located in hainan, where the supply of vegetables has been constrained by the special conditions of heat, salt and humidity。
In recent years, the territory has been exploring soilless cultivation models through a double-wheel drive called "external security + local cultivation " , which has resulted in rolling production of approximately 5. 22 acres of vegetable greenhouses on the island based on water and matrix cultivation, providing residents with more stable and abundant vegetable options。
In addition, in the cities of chengdu, shenzhen and other cities, the roofs and balconys have become “air gardens” and thousands of square metres of cropland benefits have been created in limited space using stereoculture techniques。
