Educational Concerns for Hunger Organization (ECHO)

Educational Concerns for Hunger Organization (ECHO) ECHO is a non-profit, Christian organization dedicated to the fight against world hunger.  Their primary mandate is to strengthen the ministries of missionaries and national churches as they assist small farmers or urban gardeners in the Third World.  They publish a quarterly periodical providing its readers with ideas about food plants and production systems that could be of use to farmers in the tropics.  They also develop seeds useful for food forage and agroforestry plants that are distributed in sample packets.  Finally, they host an annual agricultural missions conference for development workers and missionaries to meet and discuss pertinent issues.
