Bluestream Technologies is advancing field trials of EF Polymer in Jordan, combining Japanese materials technology with digital tools designed to help farmers make more informed irrigation decisions.
The initiative was discussed at a meeting between Jordan’s Minister of Agriculture Dr. Saeb Abdul Halim Mefleh Al-Khreizat; Abdullah Omar Qandeel, chairman of Bluestream Technologies; and Dr. Shosuke Kiba of Japan’s Universal Materials Incubator.
The approach combines EF Polymer, a plant-based, biodegradable soil amendment developed in Japan, with artificial intelligence and monitoring using low Earth orbit satellites. Bluestream is working with ModelBase to develop an integrated control panel that coordinates these technologies, bringing together satellite-derived infrared data and field measurements to assess soil moisture and crop conditions, support irrigation planning, and help reduce water use while sustaining agricultural output.
Current trials involving wheat, maize, blueberries, date palms, and alfalfa, conducted in conjunction with the National Agricultural Research Center, are informing a further study of the combined technologies under Jordanian agricultural conditions. The study is exploring the development of a national ecosystem in which low Earth orbit satellite monitoring supports remote verification of sustainable farming practices, making it possible for farmers and institutions to earn carbon credits “instantly” — adding a new layer of value to the sustainable farming experience.
