About our productThe power of microorganisms
Thanks to conventional cultivation with chemical fertilizers and pesticides, modern society has been successful in providing food for a growing population. Modern conventional cultivation with chemical fertilizers and pesticides has been successful in providing food for a growing population. However, conventional cultivation, which efficiently and directly adds the nutrients needed by crops, has also created various distortions along with its success. Conventional cultivation involves the use of pesticides to control pests and weeds. The direct supply of nutrients to plants, the damage done to the biological environment in the soil by pesticides, and the agitation of the soil by physical cultivation all combined to gradually destroy the natural relationships between plants and soil organisms.
We are microbiology professionals.
Our core business is waste treatment to clean highly concentrated sludge generated from wastewater in urban areas. There are many kinds of wastewater sludges, but we mainly deal with sludge generated from wastewater from restaurants and other food industries, as well as from wastewater from the vast number of buildings in the center of Tokyo. These are mainly organic matter generated by people's urban life.
Soil improvement & Climate change risk
Tokyo 8 works directly on soil, which is the basis of agriculture. Much has been said about the importance of soil in modern agriculture, and one of the keys to healthy soil is boosting microorganisms. Microbes do more than just break down organic matter (compost components and biomass). The humic substances they produce in the process also change soil properties. Soils with low microbial content gradually become monogranular or clay-like
Pest repellent and Tilling control
Although not all insects are pests, we can control pest outbreak by eliminating their causes. Insects have an excellent sense of smell and will detect smells that a weakened plant emits, identify them as food to prey on, and approach. When plants are healthy, they emit less of those kind of smells, so predation from pests is less likely to occur. In addition, Tokyo 8's microflora and microfauna produces enzymes that insects do not like, which has a double effect of reducing pest infestation. In other words, it achieves sustainable pest control by reducing the causes of pest outbreaks.
IncreaseCrop Yield with Biofertilizer！ー JAS Organic Certificatied JASOM-220401
Organic farming using Tokyo 8 has been increasing around the world. Regarding yield, which is a concern when entering the organic market in Japan, attention has been drawn to the fact that yields can be expected to increase quickly even from the first year.
As the price of conventional chemical fertilizers has skyrocketed in developed countries, more and more people are adopting organic farming as a form of sustainable agriculture. Not only for environmental or quality reasons, but for economic reasons as well. Moreover, Tokyo 8 is effective in diverse areas and landscapes. For example, densely vegetated Indonesia and Malawi, high altitude Lesotho, Niger and Mauritania in the Sahara Desert, typhoon-prone Miyakojima and Kagoshima, and cold-weather regions such as Hokkaido.
We're looking for partners to help end poverty around the world !
The world’s population living in poverty is estimated to be one billion or more.
Many of these are small-scale farmers who plant on around 1 acre (0.4 ha) of farmland. Farmers usually struggle to produce food for their own consumption while earning an income from their harvest. Under tough economic climate, it is also difficult to get supplementary income through jobs. If they can increase their harvest by 20%, they would increase both their cash and daily food supply.
Through innovative farming systems and humus building, agriculture has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and fix carbon.
Through several scientific tests, an increase in carbon content was observed in soils continuously treated with Tokyo 8.
This is thought to be largely due to the function of the C1 microorganisms contained in Tokyo8 and the humus produced by the activation of the microorganisms. We are continuing our research to verify this effect.
Making the world's food more nutritious and abundant!
This is a ``bacteria-based biostimulant' developed by professionals who are experienced in sludge treatment in Tokyo, one of the world's largest cities. Based on their unique know-how in sludge treatment, it has been confirmed that the use of this product increases the productivity of organic cultivation and significantly improves various soil environments. It is harmless to the human body and odorless, so anyone can handle it stress-free. This bacterial preparation will strongly support the production of healthy and delicious crops.
Significantly improve the soil environment, for healthier crops
When TOKYO8 is used, a wide variety of bacteria contained in the formulation are activated and decompose many organic substances in the soil. The action of these bacteria promotes soil agglomeration, dramatically improving the soil environment and biodiversity, and increasing the fertility of the field.
Harmless and odorless! Anyone can handle it stress-free
In April 2022 , TOKYO8 was registered as a material on the "List of Usable Materials Based on Organic JAS Standards" by the Organic JAS Materials Evaluation Council. TOKYO8 is a bacterial formulation that is very good at decomposing organic matter and works very well with slow-acting organic fertilizers. It is possible to transition to sustainable organic cultivation without reducing the efficiency of conventional cultivation that uses pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Vegetables grow healthier and tastier, dramatically improving food safety, yield, and quality (sweetness, flavor, and nutritional content).
