About – ECHO North America Impact Center in Fort Myers, Florida, is a 50‑plus–acre Global Farm and research campus that serves as ECHO’s North America Regional Impact Center, offering a hands‑on laboratory for agricultural solutions to hunger and food insecurity. Situated in North Fort Myers, it features a demonstration farm with eight distinct growing zones—such as tropical lowlands, highlands, semi‑arid, rainforest and urban gardens—plus a tropical fruit nursery, seed bank preserving over 200 hard‑to‑find varieties, a resource library, and an appropriate‑technology village showcasing low‑cost innovations like water filters and pedal‑powered tools. The center hosts training programs (like its Tropical Agricultural Development courses), farm tours, on‑site consultations, internships, conferences, and a network of NGOs and ministries to share practical, cost‑effective agro‑techniques, all grounded in a mission to equip individuals globally to reduce hunger and build sustainable communities.
