    • Dear FAO,

      I am Jinju Song from Ecobiznet Inc. in Korea. First session was very useful and impressive. Thank you for opening this webinar.

      We, Ecobiznet Inc. are an exporter of fermenter and microorganism product for agriculture, fisheries, livestock, and environment with a business background of some 18 years. Our mission is contributing to a clean environment and healthy life for people. In many countries, big amounts of harmful chemicals are still widely used in agriculture, livestock and fisheries as fertilizer, pesticides, antibiotic and herbicide and they leads to numerous problems including soil acidification, mammalian toxicity, animal disease due to the excessive use of antibiotics and etc.

      We can easily find organic products in the market and we have seen notice of procurement by FAO that is looking for urea fertilizer or NPK fertilizer but technically they are not organics and they will end up causing environmental pollution and imbalance of ecological system. So we are trying to replace chemicals with natural ones which is microbial biotechnology. Microorganisms that exist anywhere on Earth live in our bodies and everywhere around us. In other words, it is not an exaggeration to say that humans live with microorganisms.

      In the meantime, we have come up with a lot of pathogens that are unhealthy and harmful microorganisms, so we have been realized that microorganisms are dirty and dangerous. However, there are so many microorganisms that are very beneficial and effective to our body, animals and environment, such as lactic acid bacteria in fermented foods that we eat. Microbiologists estimate that less than 1% of microbes that exist on Earth are found and produced. As such, there are still many unknown fields to discover and research about microorganisms.

      So we Ecobiznet provides Microbial culture system that support comprehensive solution from exploration of excellent strains, high density cultivation technology, fermenter manufacturing technology and reasonable field application of microorganisms so that functional microorganisms can be easily produced in the field in accordance with the intended use by consumers for livestock(feed additives), agriculture(microbial fertilizer/pesticides), aquaculture(feed additives, water purification) and environment(odor removal, environment purification).

      We have been trying to cooperate FAO but we realized that people need to understand what microbial biotechnology is, so it will come into request. Do you have any suggestions or advice?
