About the project*: Inspiration I am a Local Community Development graduate from Faraa Camp, Tubas. Tubas is an agricultural region, but farmers lose crops due to diseases and low market prices. I wanted to use my degree to solve a real local problem.

What it does Tubas Community AI helps Tubas farmers:

  • Take a photo of a plant/olive tree and detect disease instantly
  • Get advice on treatment in Arabic
  • Connect farmers directly to buyers to get better prices

How we built it

  • AI Model: Image detection model (YOLOv8) for crop diseases, fine-tuned on Nebius GPUs
  • Backend: Python + FastAPI hosted on Nebius
  • Frontend: Simple mobile-first web app for farmers with low internet

Challenges we ran into

  • Limited data for local Palestinian crops
  • Farmers in Tubas need Arabic and simple UI, not complex apps

Accomplishments that we're proud of Combining my degree in Local Development with AI to create a real solution for my community in Tubas, not just a student project.

What we learned Real development needs technology that understands local needs. Nebius AI Studio helped train the model fast and cheap.

What's next for Tubas Community AI

  • Add more crops (wheat, olives, vegetables)
  • Partner with Tubas agricultural cooperatives
  • Launch marketplace for farmers
