AI is changing farming across the world — from chatbots in India to smart tractors in the U.S. 🌍🚜 Farmers are increasing yields, saving water, and reducing pesticide use… But in Pakistan, most are still farming like it’s 1980. Why are we missing out on this tech revolution? What will it take for AI to reach our fields? Join Junaid Iqbal as he explores global innovations — and how they can inspire local action. 🔍 In this episode Junaid discusses: 1️⃣ AI crop planning, satellite soil data & India’s WhatsApp farm bot 2️⃣ Laser leveling, no-till farming & rice-planting robots 3️⃣ Water-saving drip systems and pivot irrigation in dry zones 4️⃣ Organic compost tea, GM seeds & drone spraying in Pakistan 5️⃣ Satellite crop monitoring & smarter harvesters 6️⃣ Marketplaces, mango processing & post-harvest storage 🌱 Pakistan has the talent, land, and heart — now it's about the ecosystem. With the right investments, policies, and public-private energy, we can power a resilient agri future.
