New Zealand


The EM™ activities in New Zealand are spearheaded by the New Zealand Nature Farming Society (NZNFS), established in 1997. In 2002, the seventh International Nature Farming Conference was held in Christchurch with more than 200 people from 30 countries joining.

The best example of a large scale system with EM™ compost is seen in Christchurch City. Also, not only household use but also public facilities and restaurants in Christchurch use EM™ to treat garbage so that they can make compost effectively and dispose garbage environment-friendly.
