An upcoming seminar will teach participants about JADAM, and how to apply its principles to gardening and farming.
Youngsang Cho, his wife Sona, and an interpreter will discuss the theory, history, creation, and application of JADAM principles for use in the farm and garden. JADAM is a system of farming based on simple, easy-to-follow principles that use scientific technology to create inexpensive products and processes.
There are four basic principles to JADAM: do life the natural way by watching what nature does; plants, soil and humans are all part of the same system, and prosper together; nature is neither bad nor good and should be enjoyed without personal bias; and people should learn to use wild grass, instead of expending energy to destroy it. Such grass attracts beneficial insects and returns important nutrients to the land.
The seminar is three days long, and is open to beginners and experienced users of JADAM alike. On the first and second days, students will learn the history of JADAM, the theory behind it, and how to apply it to farming and gardening today. The third day will be devoted to hands-on learning, with guidance from Major Warren, Dujon Blondel, and Mike Whyte.
The JADAM Beltsville event is scheduled for Friday, February 17 at 10.00 am through Sunday, February 19 at 5.00 pm, at Old Baltimore Pike in Beltsville. Organizers of events like this can use brochure printing to create handouts for attendees.
