The 8th Biennial Jamaica Diaspora Conference hosted earlier this year boasted some unique features such as a Day of Service initiative which was carried out on day four of the Conference. Even more unique was the fact that some Day of Service activities were delayed to enable greater reach and impact. One such initiative was the Jamaica Diaspora Agriculture Taskforce (JDAT) Symposium, which was carried out at this year’s Denbigh Agricultural, Industrial and Food Show which was staged in collaboration with the Jamaica Organic Agriculture Movement (JOAM). Made up of self-styled ‘Foreign farmers’, JDAT is on a mission to get more Jamaican farmers certified in organic farming.
