Pakistani Student Wins Global AI Competition with Innovative Farming Technology
Mahroosh Umer, a talented AS-level STEM student from Pakistan, has made the country proud by leading her multinational team to victory at the prestigious AI 4 Good Incubator 2025. This global techthon-style event brought together innovators from hundreds of countries to tackle the urgent question: “How can artificial intelligence accelerate the journey towards net-zero emissions?”
The winning project, AgriGuard.AI, is an advanced AI-powered platform aimed at empowering smallholder farmers. It helps them adopt climate-smart farming techniques, boost soil health, and increase their earnings through carbon credit programs. By leveraging satellite imagery and soil analytics, the system delivers tailored, actionable recommendations—making sustainable agriculture both practical and profitable.
Mahroosh played a pivotal role in the project’s development by creating an interactive prototype using Glide. This allowed farmers to see exactly how the technology could fit into their daily operations, bridging the gap between AI insights and real-world farming needs.
Outshining teams from across the globe, AgriGuard.AI stood out for its unique blend of innovation, environmental impact, and economic benefits—securing the top prize and positioning Mahroosh as one of Pakistan’s rising tech innovators.
