This 22-year-old made an app to help farmers predict risks to their crops

Soj Gamayan beat out 110,000 applicants to win the Red Bull Basement World Final in Tokyo with an app that translates complex data for farmers.

Rice feeds half the global population, but for many farmers, growing the grain feels like a high-stakes gamble. One in five sacks is lost to threats including pests, crop disease and extreme weather. Soj Gamayan, whose family knows these challenges firsthand, is working to change that with his app AgriConnect, an AI-powered platform that helps farmers predict and manage crop risks.
