The increasing demand for sustainable farming practices has necessitated the development of innovative technologies that improve crop productivity while reducing environmental harm. This study investigates the combination of internet of things (IoT) sensors and big data analytics for real-time soil health monitoring, with the aim of maximizing crop yield and efficient resource management. This allows for informed decision-making in key agricultural practices, such as fertilization, irrigation, and crop rotation, based on data analysis. This research aims to evaluate the efficiency of smart soil monitoring in minimizing water and fertilizer usage, resulting in cost savings and the adoption of sustainable farming methods. Our research indicates that these systems have the potential to greatly enhance resource utilization and crop output by adjusting to changing environmental factors. Furthermore, we discuss the obstacles associated with scaling up smart soil health monitoring, such as the expenses involved in building the necessary infrastructure, ensuring data security, and providing technical training to farmers.

Keywords: Agriculture, fertilizer, farming, IOT sensors, resources
