Strengthening the Transition to Sustainable Agricultural Practices in Quebec: Understanding the Barriers, Mobilizing Stakeholders and ESG Strategies

The project aims to support Terre à table, an organization committed to sustainable agriculture, by deepening the understanding of the economic and environmental challenges related to agri-environmental practices in Quebec. The intern will conduct research to identify barriers to farmers’ adoption of sustainable practices and ways to overcome them. It will also analyze the sustainability strategies of food companies to foster beneficial partnerships between producers and businesses. At the same time, it will study the specific needs of other actors in the organization’s areas of action, such as indigenous communities . This project will enable Terre à table to better support producers in the transition to a more environmentally friendly agriculture, while strengthening its links with other players of the agri-food value chain.
