🎉 Congratulations to our partners in Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, and Peru! 🎉
We are proud to celebrate the recognition of our partners, whose work has been featured in a recent publication by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).
The article, "The Use of Effective Microorganisms: An Innovation for the Regeneration of Degraded Soils in South America," introduces successful experiences in Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, and Peru, demonstrating how EM Technology is helping regenerate degraded soils, reduce reliance on agrochemicals, and promote more sustainable agricultural practices.
This international recognition reflects the dedication, technical expertise, and commitment of our partners to improving the health of agricultural ecosystems and advancing sustainable agriculture across South America.
👏 Congratulations on this outstanding achievement!
We are honored to work alongside you and look forward to your continued success.

Summary of the Report
Regeneration of Degraded Soils Using EM Technology (Effective Microorganisms) in South America
Target Regions: Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, and Peru
South American tomato production faces significant challenges, including soil degradation, nematodes, root diseases, and the intensive use of agrochemicals. The FAO report highlights how EM Technology offers a sustainable solution by restoring soil health while improving productivity.
Key Results
🌱 Soil Regeneration
- EM microorganisms enhance the natural breakdown of agrochemical residues and other contaminants.
- Soil structure, aeration, water retention, and fertility were significantly improved.
🌿 Reduced Agrochemical Use
- Some farms completely eliminated nematicides and fungicides through EM application.
- Synthetic fertilizer use was reduced by 20–60%.
🍅 Higher Productivity
- Tomato yields increased by 20–50%.
- Up to 95% of harvested tomatoes reached commercial quality without chemical residues, supporting quality certification.
🤝 Empowering Farmers
- Farmers received practical training, participated in seminars, and shared experiences through demonstration farms.
- By producing their own Activated EM・1 and biofertilizers from locally available materials, they reduced production costs and became less dependent on commercial agrochemicals.
🌱 Replicating the Model
The report recommends four simple steps for implementing this approach in other regions:
1️⃣ Assess local soil conditions and crop needs.
2️⃣ Establish a reliable local supply of EM solutions.
3️⃣ Develop a systematic application plan.
4️⃣ Monitor results and continuously improve the program for long-term sustainability.
