Echo Global Farm & Research Center


      My experience at Echo Global Farm & Research Center was very educational and intriguing for me.  Our tour guide showed my class all around the demonstration farm they have located on the property.  Echo's on site demonstration farm is used for agricultural training and the ongoing discovery of  innovative technologies. Through their on site farm, they are able to provide sustainability options for missionaries and agricultural workers in 180 countries. Echo's main focus is reducing world hunger by discovering ways to grow crops and livestock with minimal land space and in harsh environmental circumstances. Echo also focuses on educating others on how to specifically sustain their "urban farms". In addition, Echo has its own tropical fruit nursery that is open for visitors to purchase anything from their wide selection of plants and fruits. Overall Echo is an "urban farm" that helps provide education to anyone or farmer on how to become more productive even in the poorest regions of the world, which in turn helps fight world hunger.
