Enabling Child and Human Rights with Seed Organizations (ECHO) is a multi-stakeholder forum established in 2019 as a joint initiative of the seed indu Read morestry and non-governmental organizations. ECHO aims to identify issues and promote ethical seed production supply chain practices, ensuring decent workplace standards in the hybrid seed industry. ECHO's evolution began in 2003 with the formation of the Child Labour Elimination Group (CLEG) in collaboration with the Association of Seed Industries (ASI).

Throughout its journey, ECHO has been committed to promoting child rights and decent work conditions, garnering support from social research organizations, seed industry members, and other voluntary entities.
