ECHOcommunity

Through ECHOcommunity you can discover ideas, research, and training on a wide variety of subject matter pertaining to agriculture and community development. ECHO's resources focus on small-scale agriculture in the tropics and sub-tropics and come from ECHO staff, network members, and development partners around the globe. Navigation within the app is available in English, Spanish, French, Swahili, Thai, Haitian Creole, Khmer, Burmese, Vietnamese, Indonesian, and Chinese.

This app is designed to allow you to efficiently discover relevant resources and download them on your mobile device. Resources added to your library remain available when there is no internet connection and can be shared with others.

The app Plant Records feature records crop lifecycle events from receipt through harvest. Plant Records can be used for any type of planting, whether a trial or production planting, whether an annual or perennial. Users who acquire seeds from the ECHO seed banks can track and report the progress of seed trials seamlessly using this app.

The app allows you to record relevant data such as what and when you plant, weather events, interventions such as mulching, cultivation, pruning, and harvest. Along with each entry pictures and notes can be stored for future reference. The data is retained in the cloud, so you will be able to look back at the seeds you have tried and how the trials worked for you.
