ECHO

I had the opportunity to spend the last week studying tropical agriculture for development at ECHO.   Here are just a few pictures and quick captions.

 One day for lunch we had a salad that contained 34 ingredients fresh from the global farm! 

Mount Victor at ECHO (elevation 24 feet) demonstrates agricultural techniques that can be used on mountainous terrain.   Different sections of the farm are set up as examples of various tropical climates including the climate most similar to South Sudan.  

  I learned a lot through the classes, but the best part of the week was connecting with and learning from like-minded individuals.  

The global farm was a truly beautiful place to explore as I meandered through the different pathways.  =)
