The best way to save our planet Earth is EM Technology

My journey with effective microorganisms (EM) began in 2011, when my colleague Margus Ess showed me how powerfully they could increase crop yields. His early demonstrations sparked my curiosity, and in 2012 I received funding to begin my own research on EM in Estonia.

I started with very little knowledge, but the more I worked with EM, the more I realized how remarkable this technology is. During my studies, I made an important discovery: tomato transplants treated with EM grew shorter and developed thicker stems. This meant they could move nutrients more efficiently and became stronger, healthier plants with better resistance to pests and diseases.

The project allowed me to share my results widely — at events in Estonia and at international conferences in Turkey, New Zealand, Thailand, Mauritius, Poland, Greece, and more. In 2015, I published a book summarizing my EM research, which led to further invitations to speak about EM technology around the world.

I am grateful to all collaborators who supported this work, including AgriPartner Ltd., agronomist Eve Somelar, and international EM experts. Even the EMRO Japan homepage acknowledges my contributions, which is a great honor.

This book continues that mission: showing how EM technology can be used in agriculture and the environment to support healthier crops and a healthier planet. I truly believe EM is one of the most promising tools we have for protecting Earth’s future.
