Underutilized Crops Symposium: Register Today! 2025-02-24

Fort Myers, FL | October 20-24, 2025
ECHO is partnering with the International Society for Horticultural Science (ISHS) to host a four-day symposium centered on underutilized plant species. Beyond the few staple grains that supply most of the world’s food lies a host of plant species that are largely neglected. Among them are fruits, agroforestry species, green manure/cover crops, leafy greens, fuelwood species, animal forage and fodder species, and plants that provide ecological services such as erosion control. Advancing our knowledge of these plants is vital to creating food and agroecosystems that thrive under challenging growing conditions and changing climates. Join us at this symposium to grow your knowledge around these underutilized crops!
