Commonly done throughout the middle east and on tropical islands. Hydroponically grown, from desalinated seawater, in greenhouses, there is plenty of sand, which is better for hydroponics anyway.

It is expensive, and these people (for some Middle East countries, anyway) have got the most ready cash of any contemporary gov't.

But it hardly provides sufficent quantities of basic foodstuffs. Only luxuries and cash crops really.

Hydroponics is something of a hobby of mine. Won't even feed me, but I do it anyway.
