EMRO: EFFECTIVE MICROORGANISMS
EMRO looks ahead to the future 100 years from now
EMRO (EM Research Organization), founded by Professor Teruo Higa, develops eco-friendly microbial products like EM•1® to enhance natural processes in soil and water. These products are used globally in agriculture, animal husbandry, environmental purification, health care. and many other industries.
EM Research Organization Inc. (EMRO) was founded in 1994 for the purpose of social contribution via the technology utilized EM. EM consists of a wide variety of beneficial, non-pathogenic, naturally occurring microorganisms. Since its establishment, EMRO has been involved in initiatives to improve agriculture and the environment through EM.
EMRO's aim is to promote sustainable agriculture, which provides healthy food while protecting the environment. Originally, EM was developed for use in agriculture as an alternative to chemical pesticides and fertilizers. However, it can also be used to great advantage in a far wider range of applications, such as environmental remediation and medical sanitation.
Research and Development
EM is used in a lot of different fields. EM continue its research and technological development in order to provide society with better technology and products.
- Comprehensive research on manufacturing facilities, production techniques, quality control and modes of transportation in order to manufacture and supply high quality EM・1 under various environment or social conditions.
- Research regarding the mechanisms of EM in various fields.
- Exploration of new applications of EM and studies into such applications.
- Applied research and technological development of EM focusing on human and environmental microbiomes.
Search for new beneficial microorganisms
EM conducts research into screening of new beneficial microorganisms and the combination of beneficial microorganisms in order to improve the functionality and expand the application range of technology.
Development of new products
EMRO conducts product development using the fermentation ability of EM. This application is the basis of EM・X GOLD and the technology is currently used in various fields such as food processing, cosmetics and industrial production. We will continue to develop new products using the latest technology of EM.
*Cooperation with Global Research Institutes
EMRO conducts verification tests and engage in applied research of EM in cooperation with partners (government institutions, universities, co-ops, NPOs, etc) around the world in many different fields such as agriculture, aquaculture, environmental remediation, construction and wellness.
