I’ve been teaching at the National Institute of Organic Agriculture (Institut national d’agriculture biologique - INAB) at the Cégep de Victoriaville since 2015. My areas of expertise include agroforestry, fruit crops, the environment, and natural resources management. Since 2016, I’ve also been actively involved in several social innovation projects as a teacher-researcher.
In recent years, my work has focused more specifically on issues related to farm establishment and succession, the revitalization of underused and fallow farmland, and the development of Québec’s fruit sector. I’ve always been a hands-on professional who enjoys working directly with communities in participatory research settings. By getting involved in CISA’s projects, my goal is to help develop training and knowledge transfer tools for the next generation, for farmers, and for other key players in Québec’s agri-food sector
