Kenya is located in East Africa, right on the equator and has a warm and dry climate.
EM Technologies, an investing company of EM Research Organization is located in a town called Embu which is northeast of the capital Nairobi.
There are disposal sites for garbage in Embu town, however, people often do not discard trash on the collection places and even they do gather their garbage, often nobody comes to collect them. Therefore, there are garbage everywhere in the town and this is causing health and environmental problems.
Especially, the vegetable market in town produces a large amount of vegetable wastes and this was causing malodors.

Currently, a Japanese Funded NGO, African Children Education Fund (ACEF) collects these vegetable wastes twice a week. (ACEF’s activities includes providing education and medical support, spreading organic farming and protecting the environment.)
Vendors at the market are happy to keep the market clean so they actively cooperate to collect vegetable wastes.

Since 2016, EM Technologies operates a model farm where they grow vegetables such as kale and spinach and fruits such as banana.
EM Technologies takes the vegetable wastes collected by the NGO and compost them with EM and use the finished compost at this model farm.
This farm also ferment livestock excretion with EM and use these as fertilizer.
