Contributing to Sustainable Agriculture Through Soil Biological Diagnosis

Among the pressing crises facing humanity, the issue of soil degradation is particularly overlooked. According to a report by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), approximately 1.7 billion people live in areas where crop yields are declining due to soil degradation. To address this issue, the implementation of sustainable soil management practices is an urgent priority.

Soil Diagnosis Biosensor Research LLC (SDB Research) aims to realize sustainable agriculture by providing affordable and rapid soil health diagnostic technology to respond to the rapidly progressing problem of soil degradation.

Our soil health diagnostic technology features the following:

・ - Simplicity: Simply collect soil and send it with an application form; it is hassle-free.

・ - Low Cost: Provided at 3,000 yen per sample.

・ - Speed: We deliver an easy-to-understand report within one week.

We are expanding our business beyond "soil health checkups" to include "quality evaluation and selection of soil-building materials and compost," as well as the "manufacturing and sale of equipment."

Introduction

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) report (The State of the World’s Land and Water Resources for Food and Agriculture 2025: SOLAW 2025), an estimated 673 million people experienced hunger in 2024, and many regions are facing severe and frequent food crises. With the global population projected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050, agriculture is under pressure to increase food production by 50%.

We are confronting this challenge and promoting sustainable agriculture through soil health diagnostics.

About Soil Health Diagnostic Technology Using Biosensors

Simply collect soil and send it with an application form. 3,000 yen per point, and we deliver an easy-to-understand report within one week.

Differences in soil disease risk and measurement principles

The information producers need is not based on conventional soil biological diagnosis, but on the actual health status of the soil. Our testing provides the information that users truly need with precision.
