How we work
01
Start from local problems
Research began in 2007 on a durable alternative to chemical fertilizers — aimed at soil health and food security, not just a season’s green.
02
Protect the method
The preparation method is part of the invention recorded in ET UM1073B1. We explain what the inventions are for without publishing anything beyond what the public record already contains.
03
Let others test it
Universities and research institutes have run their own field trials of Eco Green and published the results, including where the response levelled off.
6 independent field trials, published
Barley, malt barley, wheat and hot pepper, tested by Ethiopian universities and research institutes. Every figure links to the paper.
