Wondering What EM Technology Is All About? Read on...

EM is an abbreviated designation from the term "effective microorganisms". Generally speaking, it is a technology that applies effective microorganisms. EM is not a specific type of microorganism, it is a mixture of groups of microorganisms that has a reviving action on humans, animals, and the natural environment. And, most of these microorganisms have been used in food processing and in the field of medicine.

Its safeness has been confirmed from many years of use, and research facilities in Japan and outside have given investigative results saying that even if drank by accident, there is, in particular, no problem. Out of the many countries that are using EM, there are those that have given permission and judged that it is suitable as a beverage. And, not just in agriculture, sanitation administrations have actively made practical use of EM as well.

EM technology branches into two methods. One method utilises microorganisms in a direct manner, and the second method involves the practical use of the by-products of EM. The former is mainly centred on the environmental fields and the primary industries of agriculture, livestock, forestry, fisheries, and so on, and the latter is mainly centred on the energy fields in manufacturing and medicine.
