Huertos comunitarios
ECHO sigue motivada por las necesidades agrícolas y comunitarias, esforzándose por poner sus recursos técnicos a disposición de las organizaciones nacionales e internacionales. A través del Programa de Asistencia para Jardines Comunitarios, una expansión de nuestra organización en el suroeste de Florida, ECHO ofrece recursos tales como capacitaciones básicas y consultas para proyectos de huertos locales.
Una perspectiva única que ECHO aporta al movimiento nacional de huertos comunitarios es una perspectiva de agricultura moldeada por nuestro trabajo, con los pequeños agricultores en muchas de las regiones más pobres del mundo. Nuestro objetivo es ofrecer una oportunidad para compartir y comunicar ideas prácticas y asequibles en todo el mundo. A menudo, esto toma la forma de recomendaciones de bajo costo y bajos insumos, que generalmente incluyen el uso de plantas tropicales perennes nutritivas y variedades de plantas subtropicales como parte de un sistema agrícola sostenible.
