Our journey in South Africa began in the late 1990s when EMROSA introduced EM® Technology to the region. In 1998, Prof JF Prinsloo embraced the challenge of integrating EM® Nature Farming Techniques into the aquaculture-agriculture production systems at the Aquaculture Research Centre (ARC) of the University of the North, now known as the University of Limpopo. This transformative approach addressed issues related to water quality, soil compaction, and various pests and diseases, revolutionising traditional farming practices.
Discover the sustainable and environmentally safe solutions EM® Technology offers as it activates local microorganisms, optimising their natural power. Join us on a journey of innovation and ecological balance, tailored to the unique landscapes of Southern Africa and beyond.
