What is EM®
Effective Microorganisms® (EM®) Technology
EM® (Effective Microorganisms®) is an innovative solution composed of microbiological preparations that include live cultures of lactic bacteria, yeasts, phototrophic bacteria, actinobacteria, fungi and other beneficial microorganisms. These natural elements act in synergy, restoring the balance of environments and promoting health in an efficient and sustainable way.
Furthermore, EM® technology has a wide range of applications that in turn help to solve some of today’s biggest environmental and health challenges. Therefore, by using EM®, it is possible to achieve effective results in promoting environmental and human well-being, while adopting a more sustainable approach.
- EM® technology offers several solutions, such as revitalizing degraded soils, restoring their production capacity and recreating the humus layer, essential for healthy plant growth. In addition, it contributes to water purification and optimization of sewage treatment systems, promoting natural solutions for environmental preservation.
- In addition to these applications, EM® also improves animal welfare by neutralizing odors and creating healthier, more pleasant environments. Finally, it offers household solutions, such as natural cleaning products, that not only eliminate odors but also help control the growth of dust mites, providing a cleaner, healthier environment at home.

Additionally, EM® technology has expanded into areas such as cosmetics and health care, offering natural and effective alternatives for those looking for products that combine well-being and sustainability.
With EM®, you have at your disposal not only practical and innovative solutions for your daily life, but also the opportunity to contribute to a healthier and more sustainable future.health and cosmetics.
Professor Teruo Higa
Professor Teruo Higa from Okinawa created Effective Microorganisms® (EM®). The idea came to him while he was researching oranges for his doctoral thesis in horticulture at Kyushu University. It was during this time that Higa discovered the potential of microorganisms in agriculture, directing his research in a new direction. His investigations into the use of heterogeneous mixtures of microorganisms in plant cultivation soon expanded to other areas such as livestock farming, environmental regeneration and human health. All microorganisms present in EM® preparations come from natural environments and are not genetically modified.
Professor Teruo Higa was born in Okinawa, Japan in 1941. He graduated from Riukiu Island University and obtained his doctorate in horticulture from Kyushu University. In 1982, he received the title of professor at his home university. Through his research on efficient microorganisms and the development of EM® technology, he has gained international recognition.
Professor Higa also holds important positions in several organizations. He is the chairman of the International Committee for the Promotion of Natural Farming and the executive director of the Earth Environmental Protection Foundation. He is also the chairman of the World Peace Organization, a scientific advisor to the Japan Flower Growers Association, and a consultant to the Japan Water Resources Treatment Association. Finally, Higa is the author of several books and scientific publications, consolidating his contribution to science and the environment.
