Farm Up Jamaica / DoTerra Expedition 2022
On February 8th and 9th, 2022, DoTerra Healing Hands Foundation visited our pineapple farm in Hanover, Jamaica. 300 DoTerra wellness advocates helped us plant 3,000 organic pineapples to help reduce the importation of food and put youth farmers back into regenerative agriculture.
Jamaica’s farming population consists mainly of farmers who are 60 years of age or older. This aging group is not transferring the agricultural techniques to the younger generation,so there is no one passing the baton.
Wellness advocates worked side by side with youth farmers and inspired them to embrace agriculture as a means of sustainability. Young farmers were excited to see that visitors from around the world were interested in getting their hands dirty. Farming is frowned upon in Jamaica due to its historical connection to slavery and its challenging, laborious nature. DoTerra‘s Healing Hands also lifted the burden by helping to complete two months worth of work in only two days. This helped to remove the stigma from the minds of these Jamaicans and left a lasting impression on our young agriculturists.
These are the types of interactions that will change the mindset of generations to come and will help to guarantee that countries like Jamaica will be able to feed themselves healthy food in the future.
