Ahmed Abdallah Mohamed Ahmed

Ahmed Abdallah Mohamed Ahmed is an innovator dedicated to addressing agriculture’s inefficient use of resources. Agriculture consumes 70% of global freshwater, yet around 50% of applied nitrogen is lost, wasting resources, reducing yields, and polluting soil. He is developing rail-mounted sensors that measure pH, NPK, temperature, moisture, humidity, and GPS, streaming data to an ML engine trained on 20 crops. Farmers receive daily row-level irrigation and fertilizer recommendations, improving yields by up to 20% while cutting water use by 40%. In Oklahoma alone, this could add $1.9 billion in value and protect rivers, modeling how smarter inputs reduce agriculture’s global carbon footprint. This mission is deeply personal to him, as growing up in Egypt he saw how a bad harvest could mean empty plates. With his PhD in AI and sensing, he is equipping farmers with data to protect food, water, and livelihoods for the 828 million people still facing hunger. With determination and vision, Ahmed is paving the way for sustainable solutions that make a real difference.
