ECHO

On Wednesday, March 7th, we traveled to ECHO (Educational Concerns for Hunger Organization). We learned that the purpose of ECHO is to educate people on how to grow and farm their own food based on the scarce sources of their environment. From ECHO's home base, in North Fort Myers, people travel to areas of poverty and teach locals to farm their own food. ECHO's property contains a variety of imitation climates, all of which have been cultivated in a simple way to produce nutritious fruits and vegetables. Their property also houses several different animals that also play an important role in ECHO's agricultural production.
