In-Person Training

See Our Full Events List

ECHO offers various study options located at our North America RIC in North Fort Myers, Florida. This year, we are offering monthly "Growing Together" workshops on Saturdays. If you need a "living classroom," we also provide a space for outside instructors to use our facilities to host their trainings here on the farm.

ECHO International Agriculture Conference

Through plenary speakers, breakout sessions, and workshops, we provide opportunities for learning with others devoted to eradicating hunger and improving lives through agriculture, clean water, and community development. Speakers share their agricultural challenges and successes, personal experiences, and transferrable principles for improving the lives of millions facing food insecurity daily. The highlight is networking with like-minded practitioners, researchers, and educators. Save the date to join us at our 2026 conference from November 10-12

Farm Tours

ECHO Appropriate Technology Village Tour

Seed Bank

Learn More About The Seed Bank

The goal of the ECHO Global Seed Bank is to serve as a resource for development workers who wish to experiment with underutilized crops as they work to improve the lives of small scale farmers and gardeners. The seed bank maintains a collection of hard-to-find seeds that thrive under the often difficult growing conditions of the tropics and sub-tropics.

Internships

Divers sujets comprennent l'amélioration des sols, les pépinières d’arbres, la lutte contre l'érosion, la résolution des conflits, la conservation de l'eau et les moyens de subsistance, tout cela dans l’optique de la recherche de consensus, de la coopération et de la gestion.
