Silicon Valley generosity helps North Fort Myers' ECHO feed hungry in hurricanes wake

Danielle Flood December 19, 2017

"We help get the knowledge in the hands of people who need it," Erickson said, adding there are 400 million small-scale farms in the world.  

Studies show that each person ECHO trains directly passes to 22 other people, he said, often in the poorest areas in the world.

"The need is so great, the knowledge so practical," he said.

ECHO

Reducing Hunger, Improving Lives, Worldwide

ECHO is much more than a farm! Founded in 1981, we are an agricultural support agency to the world.  ECHO resources include a large knowledge base of specialized information, technical support based on years of experience, and an extensive seedbank focused on highly beneficial, underutilized plants.  We work to identify, validate, document and disseminate best practices in sustainable agriculture and appropriate technology. ECHO creates opportunities for community leaders to network with one another to share experiences, ideas and solutions.
