Last week we went to the ECHO Facility. I learned that ECHO stands for the Educational Concerns for Hunger Organization. Touring their unique facility gave us all great insight into the many different facets of agriculture. The organization showed us many different farming techniques that were designed to be efficient in specific environments; from desert lowlands to monsoon soaked valleys. The organization also taught us they demonstrated and exemplified very easy, sustainable and modern techniques to peoples who cannot afford to use modern technology or equipment. The Christian organization focuses on teaching these practices to the less fortunate and those who live in the third world. Overall I enjoyed the tour of the facility and was intrigued but the tried and true, but simple agricultural methods.
