Blog 5. ECHO

In our field trip to Echo we were introduced to lots of plants, fruits, and vegetables where they grow right onsite. Some plants include bamboo which grow very fast and is used for clothing and then the miranga which is the most popular and nutritious plant. One thing that stuck me with me was that countries live off plants that Americans don't even eat or know about. We should take more advantage of more plants and fruits that aren't normally eaten. In countries they handle rabbits more often instead of cows  because their easier to maintain and live off of. Miracle fruit is very popular in poor countries since they need lots of medicine due to poor nutriton it makes the medicine taste better. Another common fruit is bananas where each tree grows up 60-80 pounds and then must be cut down to grow more.
