Stabilization as a Powerful Phenomenon:
• Threats to major ecosystems: The Amazon Basin, the
Pantanal Wetlands, the Andes Highlands, the Caribbean
Basin, the Central America Isthmus Confluence are under
pressure and are foci for stabilization efforts.
• Clashing Culture and politics: African, European, Asian
and native Indian cultures and politics exist side by side
and compete and clash ocasionally.
• Burgeoning populations: loss and conflicts generated by
the region’s population explosion causes instabilities .
E M and Organic Matter Stability
• Mix of organisms within the same space
• Co-existence and co-prosperity
• Synergy: a culture of mutual support
• Sustainability: a community of organisms
in constant interchange and recycling
EM and How We Explain It
EM is a network of microbial organizers that allow
diverse life-forms to interact and interplay in an endless
dance of processes, motions and colors that bring in
benefits or synergies among many organisms.
• EM enhances a multiplicity of processes which are
looped together to and needs diverse actors to provide the
life-giving dynamism in a cell, an organism or a
community.
• EM’s interactions are synergies of mutual support that
allow for greater equilibrium in a mass and this is
reflected in organic matter stability.
• EM’s mutual support creates a constant exchange and
recycling and strengthens and binds the masses into a
lasting stability.

Presentation
EM taught at EARTH University
8-10 kg of
EM-Bokashi
in bananas
to manage
Nematodes
& the Black
Sigatoka
with excellent
results.
The black sigatoka burns slower
Leaves of conventional bananas burn
faster than those of EM - Bokashi
With excellent quality.

Seminars on Organic Banana Production
EARTH As EM Center
• Research and community projects by
graduating students and professors
• Seminars and Training Programs by
EARTH’s Continuing Education Program
• Visits and Demonstrations by major
companies and projects
• Consultancies rendered by the professors
• Entrepreneurial projects by graduates
Prospects for the Future
• Production of EM in at least 7 Latin
American countries by 2002.
• Regular use of EM in the major crops such
as bananas, coffee, cacao, pineapple.
• EM Philosophy as a promoter of goodwill
and better understanding amongst the
diversity of peoples
