EM CASE STUDIES

School Sustainable Gardening Competition

Since 2014 the Sustainable Gardening Competition for secondary school held every year in Sabah, Malaysia. Students take care of an assigned parcel of land for growing plants using EM Technology as much as sustainable and creative way they can. After about 6 months, they go under evaluation and compete against other participant schools.

To Earth With Love is a NGO group based in Saba, Malaysia that actively promotes the use of EM Technology for schools and comunities.

Since 2014 they succesfully launched and organized the Sustainable Gardening Competition for secondary school annually.

The Sustainable Gardening Competition consists in students taking care of an assigned parcel of land for growing plants, vegetables and flowers as much as sustainable and creative they can.
This is an extra curricular activity supervised by school teachers who are also trained by the NGO group To Earth With Love.

In order to launch this project they are finantially supported by the local government and EM resellers in cooperation with the NGO group, provide with EM products.

The Sustainable Gardening Competition held every year and the gradening project takes about 6 months. 

After students design the land distribution and grow their produces, a group of judges including organic farmers, go to inspection and evaluate the work.
