ABSTRACT

Soil health represents the enduring ability of soil to function as a vibrant, life-sustaining ecosystem that fosters the growth of plants and animals, and fulfills human requirements. It bridges the realms of agricultural and soil science with policy-making, stakeholder requirements, and sustainable supply-chain management. Traditional soil health assessment on a large scale demands significant investments in finances, workforce, and time. Conversely, digital soil health monitoring offers a swift, dependable, cost-efficient, environmentally sound, and real-time alternative. Digital soil health monitoring leverages digital technologies and data analysis methods to evaluate and track soil quality. This encompasses the collection, analysis, and interpretation of diverse soil-related data, providing insights into factors such as soil fertility, structure, moisture levels, and nutrient content. This invaluable information informs decisions about soil management, crop choices, and agricultural techniques, fostering precision and efficiency in soil care, lowering input costs, optimizing resource allocation, promoting environmental sustainability, and boosting crop yields.
