Improving the capacity and capability of international community development workers by networking their skills and knowledge with each other through:

Annual ECHO Agricultural Conference (EAC)

Since 1994, ECHO has hosted the annual ECHO Agricultural Conference.. Delegates involved in agricultural and development work around the world attend  three days of workshops, seminars, and networking opportunities. Time is also made available for attendees to learn from each other, initiate relationships and receive encouragement. The conference is held in Fort Myers, Florida in the U.S.A.

Many delegates also take advantage of ECHO's Library of Tropical Agriculture and peruse our bookstore.

The ECHO Network

Thousands of development workers around the world have registered with ECHO to receive ECHO Development Notes and other resources. Each contact indicates whether or not it would be appropriate for other ECHO network members to contact them. We regularly introduce people to each other who are working near each other on similar problems. Anyone working with an organization in the fight against world hunger is invited to join the ECHO network.
