Jean-Martin Fortier

Jean-Martin Fortier (1978) is a Quebec farmer, author, educator and advocate of sustainable organic agriculture, on a human and economically viable scale. Jean-Martin Fortier and Maude-Héléne Desroches are the founders of Les Jardins de la Grelinette, a micrograss in southern Quebec, where they live with their two children, world-renowned for their high levels of productivity and profitability, obtained through low-tech, high-performance production methods. Jean-Martin is a pioneering bio-intensive growing system professional with over fifteen years of experience in organic farming. Its old farm (lagrelinette.com) has been joined by its new project La Ferme des Quatre-Temps (www.fermequatretemps.com), which expands its agri-food concept.
