Bustan is the operating system for vertical farms in the Gulf — computer-vision crop monitoring, operator-approved climate advice, and yield forecasts you can bank on.
The UAE imports ~90% of its food, and the National Food Security Strategy 2051 wants half of it grown at home — in a land with almost no water.
