ECHO Video

Earlier this month we visited the North Ft Myers ECHO headquarters location.  We got first hand knowledge on what this video described.  One of the largest points the video made was the main goal of ECHO.  Their goal is to teach people farming methods to feed people for a lifetime to alleviate hunger around the world.  They do this by finding affordable solutions to basic agricultural needs.  Some of the problems affecting farmers around the world include:  bad soil, no rain, no education, changing climates, and more.  The ways farmers can overcome these problems are taught to them by members of ECHO.  With ECHO's help these farmers can learn ways to grow sustainable crops that can last a lifetime.
