What we do - A few examples
1. A web portal to support and promote non-family succession in agriculture;
2. A study on the potential of the farmland trust model for farmland preservation in Quebec;
3. A statistical portrait of the work conditions of temporary foreign workers on Quebec farms (700 enterprises, 8000 migrants workers);
4. A northern greenhouse as a platform to teach healthy eating habits, promote food security and the production of local food – in collaboration with a Cree communities in Northern Quebec;
5. An alliance with 3 other CCTTs for the enhancement of the northern bio-food chain;
6. A pilot project providing farm relief services to Quebec farm owners
