Dr.Teruo Higa’s
Living A Dream

EM grew into an independent session at the Universal Village International Conference, which was founded by Dr. Ichiro Masaki of MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology). Dr. Masaki had a firm belief that the various problems occurring on the earth could be solved by utilizing microorganisms, and he had high hopes for the use of EM, thus his proposal to create a model of a universal village.

In other words, it is about solving problems, including those involving chemical substances, radioactive materials, plastics, electromagnetic waves, etc. and “building a village at the universal level that conserves the global environment and biodiversity, and achieves a sustainable development for humanity.”

The first conference was held in 2022, and due to the COVID-19 pandemic, participants mainly presented case studies from Japan via ZOOM, but the second conference in 2024 was held in person at the EM Wellness Fermentation Lifestyle Resort on November 30th. With participants from 27 countries, the conference was a great success and a wonderful opportunity to expand the Universal Village to the world.

I will discuss more details in DND, but the following presentations included introductions to the EM Universal Village in Kitanakagusuku Village (Okinawa Prefecture), where the first phase of the project has been completed, a new type of rice cultivation using salt weeding (Mie Prefecture), the results of Koizumi Farm (Kanagawa Prefecture) and Amrita Farm (Hokkaido), bioremediation with EM technology in India, the Genki Ala Wai Project in Hawaii, and zero-waste urban development using EM in Malaysia. All of the projects have reached a high level of completion and have content that can easily be shared throughout the world.

The use of EM technology in the fields of agriculture, the environment, and health has almost reached its conclusion, in other words, the simple method of making high quality activated EM solution (0.5% to 3.5 salt), using it as freely as one would use air and water, and using it extensively as a part of living and work space, in the home and at work.

The next challenge is to utilize the versatile quantum mechanical properties of EM. It has already been applied to barriers, and the use of EM has not only increased productivity in the fields mentioned above but has also had good results in measures against pests and wild birds and animals, and in reducing disasters such as earthquakes and floods. At the next conference, the third conference, we plan to have presentations on the excellent results found in this field.
