I’m on my way to school excited about the field trip to ECHO. I’m not even going fast and I get pulled over by a police officer. After 20 minutes of waiting he gives me a ticket for not wearing my seatbelt. I wasn’t worried about the ticket. I was worried of missing the bus that was taking us to ECHO. Fortunately the bus waited for me and I was able to go and experience the amazing place of ECHO. ECHO is a wonderful place full of life. I enjoyed walking around learning about soil, fruits, vegetables, animals and more. I was shocked to see the variety of fruits and vegetables available in the same area. I learned that the main reason ECHO exists is to help farmers around the world how to be more productive. For instance some countries in Africa are suffering of hunger because their soil is not fertile anymore and it produces less food. African countries not only put up with the drought, now their soil is losing nitrogen that makes the soil not produce food. ECHO studies ways to have more production in agriculture. Then someone can teach farmers around the world how to become more productive even in bad climate conditions. The problem African countries are having with their soil is serious. It is necessary to find other ways of producing food when the soil if not fertile anymore. If some things don’t change there will be a lot of people dying of hunger in the next few years.
