Le budget du ministre des Finances, Éric Girard, passe à l’histoire avec un déficit historique d'au moins 13,6 milliards pour l'année à venir: Luc Ferrandez pose la question: «Est-ce que ce budget-là va nous permettre de passer à travers les enjeux qui sont devant nous?» On parle de plus en plus d’autonomie alimentaire...

Nous sommes avec l'un des plus célèbres agriculteurs du monde : Jean-Martin Fortier. En 20 ans, il a tout simplement révolutionné l'agriculture biologique, et plus précisément le maraîchage biologique. Pour co-animer ce nouvel épisode de Business of Bouffe, Philibert est accompagné de Samuel Nahon, le co-fondateur de Terroirs d'Avenir.À travers cet épisode, nous cherchons à mieux comprendre le phénomène Jean-Martin Fortier. Qui est ce jeune maraîcher québécois hyper-influent qui bouscule les codes de l'agriculture moderne et inspire aujourd'hui des milliers d'agriculteurs et néo-paysans à travers la planète ?Dans un premier temps, on revient évidemment sur le parcours de Jean-Martin, de ses premières expériences dans des fermes biologiques aux États-Unis et au Mexique, à la création de sa propre ferme au Canada : "Les Jardins de la Grelinette". C'est là qu'il expérimente et remet au goût du jour les méthodes de l'agriculture biologique intensive. Il fait ainsi la démonstration qu'un autre modèle de production agricole est possible : celui des micro-fermes productives et rentables.On découvre ensuite que Jean-Martin est plus qu'un maraîcher engagé. Il est un entrepreneur visionnaire, respecté et influent. Avec son livre best-seller "Le Jardinier-Maraîcher", vendu à plus de 250 000 exemplaires et traduit en 10 langues, ses émissions à la télévision au Canada, et son programme de formation en ligne, Jean-Matin Fortier porte son message à travers la planète. Il est aujourd'hui un acteur clé de la transition agricole.Cet épisode a été enregistré avec la participation exceptionnelle d'Alain Passard, Baptiste Saulnier (Cultive) et Laure Verdeau (Agence Bio).

Back to today's episode, James speaks to Jean-Martin Fortier. And boy did we manage to pack a lot into this one. James ended up speaking to JM on his phone outside the packing shed at FQT farm so the sound isn't perfect but hopefully the content more than makes up for that. We talk about the limits and sweet spots of human-scale market gardening, training new-entrant growers to do the work required, a deep dive on profitability and running market gardens as businesses, the importance of markets and stimulating market demand, state-level support for farming and local food, his latest venture running a farm-to-table restaurant, small-scale resilience in the face of climate change, compost and a whole load more. JM has done a huge amount to inspire a generation of market gardeners and hopefully our chat gives a taste of that. So let's get to it.This podcast is brought to you by the Organic Growers Alliance, the UK's only grower-led organisation providing technical and practical advice and support on organic growing.

The Garden in Every Sense and Season Today's “Bri Books” is a conversation with ABeautifulNestTV creator Sandria Kendrick, inspired by the book “The Garden in Every Sense and Season” by Tovah Martin. Sandria is the creator behind the “ABeautifulNestTV” platform on YouTube, and on social media. In this episode, Sandria shares her story of homesteading with her family in Georgia, and how her love for the soil runs through her veins.

Show Notes 3:30: Sandria's gardening story, and how she built a small homestead garden for her family + Brionna recommends “The Market Gardener” by Jean-Martin Fortier. 5:00: Sandria's gardening challenges and how she overcame them. 9:00 – How book is divided: Each of the four seasons are represented, with each individual season's different sensational gifts–sights, sounds, touches, tastes, scents– woven into a story that explores the ever-evolving garden 12:15: How city folks can inject some gardening into their lives: "Bring the green inside!" Overwintering plants (repotting and growing indoors), growing lettuce, succulents and aloe, indoors are great ways to keep the green inside, even after it all falls away outside.

Nous sommes le 23 juin 2023. Il est précisément 12h31. Nous sommes en Bretagne, plus précisément dans les côtes d'Armor, plus précisément à Plorec sur Arguenon et plus précisément encore, à la Ville Lambert. Ça y est c'est les vacances d'été ! Les « très grandes vacances » comme dit mon fils. Quand t'es gosse tu n'as aucune notion du temps. On te dit « grandes vacances », t'imagines 3 ans de liberté où tu vas pouvoir vivre ta meilleure vie : baignade, glaces italiennes, cabanes dans les arbres, pédaler comme un fou, sentir le vent caresser tes joues et entendre tes parents qui te disent « mets de la crème solaire et un chapeau parce que le soleil tape fort aujourd'hui ». Demain ils annoncent 29 degrés à la Ville Lambert. Et 29 degrés en Bretagne, sans pluie et sans vent, ce n'est plus du tout la Bretagne. Alors de la crème solaire il va en falloir par tube de 5 litres. On dit qu'on parle du temps qu'il fait pour ne pas parler du temps qui passe. Hier, quand il pleuvait c'était déprimant. Et aujourd'hui quand il fait beau, c'est angoissant. Comment faire pour ne pas devenir éco-anxieux ? Alors que la France est condamnée à réparer les conséquences de son inaction climatique mais que le choix des politiques reste le même : la croissance à tout prix, même au prix de nos vies. L'engagement écologique et politique permettrait de changer les choses… réalité ou légende Bretonne ? Et puis au pire… on apprendra à faire la danse de la pluie.

Discussion avec Jean-Martin Fortier et Ghalia Chahine, animée par Kateri Monticone. Tous les jours, les aliments consommés ont un impact sur notre santé et notre bien-être. Le nouveau Cadre mondial pour la nature met de l'avant le rôle des agriculteurs qui se retrouvent au cœur des solutions face à la double crise du climat et de la biodiversité. En plus de nous alimenter sainement, les terres agricoles bien aménagées permettent de préserver la qualité des cours d'eau et représentent une occasion de créer des corridors de migration pour la faune et la flore. Comment prioriser la nature et l'harmoniser avec les diverses activités économiques tel que l'agriculture? Nous en discutons avec Ghalia Chahine, Coordonnatrice Environnement, aménagement et services-conseils à l'Union des producteurs agricoles, et Jean-Martin Fortier, agriculteur, enseignant, entrepreneur et écrivain, fondateur de la ferme Les Jardins de la Grelinette. L'article Réaffirmer le rôle de l'agriculture dans la préservation de la biodiversité est apparu en premier sur Rivercast Media.

La souveraineté alimentaire et l'achat local étant des mouvements de plus en plus importants, le concept de manger "de la ferme à la table" n'a pas pu faire autrement que de suivre cette tendance. Mike et Jean-William se sont intéressés à ce phénomène qui charme autant les agriculteurs que les consommateurs dans ce nouvel épisode du balado. Pour en discuter, ils reçoivent leur mentor Jean-Martin Fortier, qui vient de lancer sa propre table fermière: l'Espace Old Mill à Stanbridge East. Il reçoivent aussi Rosalie Drum, jeune agricultrice, cheffe et pâtissière qui est également propriétaire de la table fermière Fam Cuisine Créative à Sainte-Anne-des-Plaines. Une belle discussion sur ce qui a motivé ces deux entrepreneurs à démarrer leurs propres tables fermières, la place grandissante de tels lieux de rassemblement en région ainsi que le lien étroit qui unit l'agriculture et la restauration.

Quali sono le cose più importanti da considerare se si piantano degli ortaggi tra i vigneti? Come si fa tornare in azienda della propria famiglia dopo aver vissuto parecchi anni all'estero? Quale responsabilità hanno le imprese agricole per quanto riguarda la biodiversità? Queste e tante altre domande le abbiamo fatte a Myrtha Zierock, una dei soci dell'azienda agricola Foradori a Mezzolombardo che ha imparato il market gardening dall'autore e contadino più noto della scena: Jean-Martin Fortier.

Partez à la rencontre de Baptiste Saulnier, ex-maraîcher en chef des potagers de Chambord. Après s'être formé à la pratique du bio intensif au Québec avec Jean-Martin Fortier, Baptiste a développé sur ce site majestueux un potager, une petite ferme maraîchère écologique et prospère. Les pratiques de l'agroécologie associées à une planification minutieuse des espaces, une utilisation millimétrée des ressources et la standardisation des techniques ont pour résultat un maraîchage régénérateur des sols tout en étant rentable: un vrai modèle d'avenir que nous allons explorer avec lui. *** Ce podcast est un hors série coproduit par Ecotable et Terroirs d'avenir. Deux fois par mois et pendant 5 épisodes, il part à la rencontre d'agricultrices et agriculteurs des principales familles de produits (viande, poisson, lait, légumes et céréales). L'objectif? Valoriser et faire entendre celles et ceux qui mettent en action la transition alimentaire, comprendre leur travail et, qui sait, inspirer des vocations. *** Nous avons besoin de vos avis sur le podcast et son évolution ! Merci infiniment pour les 5 minutes que vous nous consacrerez à répondre à ce questionnaire qui nous permet d'améliorer encore nos contenus. *** Ecotable est une entreprise dont la mission est d'accompagner les acteurs du secteur de la restauration dans leur transition écologique.

Depuis sa création et durant 3 ans, Baptiste Saulnier a conçu et piloté les jardins potagers du Domaine de Chambord. Avec son équipe, il a mis en œuvre et en pratique la méthode du Jardinier-maraicher québécois Jean-Martin Fortier. Toutes les étapes, du design permaculturel de la ferme à la commercialisation des légumes en passant par le travail du sol, les techniques de semis, de plantations ou de récoltes, ont fait l'objet de publications régulières dans le magazine Rustica. Pierre Nessmann, rédacteur en chef adjoint à Rustica et Baptiste Saulnier, détailleront le calendrier de ces travaux et expliqueront la méthode Fortier, véritable source d'inspiration pour toute création d'une ferme maraichère bio-intensive, profitable et vivable, dans ce podcast.
Est-ce réellement possible de gagner sa vie avec une microferme maraîchère écologique ? Et peut-on réellement croire que la multiplication des petites exploitations opérées selon la méthode Fortier peuvent transformer notre paysage agricole et offrir de l'espoir à une nouvelle génération en quête de sens ? C'est ce que l'agriculteur et auteur québécois Jean-Martin Fortier abordera dans ce podcast Rustica.
Conférence avec Jean-Martin Fortier, agriculteur et auteur québécois, et animée par Maxime de Rostolan, fondateur de l'association Fermes d'avenir et de la plateforme Bluebees. Peut-on vraiment gagner sa vie avec une microferme maraîchère écologique ? Et si la multiplication des petites exploitations « à la méthode Fortier » pouvait transformer le paysage agricole français ?

Deux cent mille. C'est le nombre d'exemplaires vendus du premier livre de Jean-Martin Fortier, Le jardinier-maraîcher, un véritable ouvrage à succès. Traduit en dix langues, très populaire aux États-Unis et en France, ce livre se veut une véritable bible pour ceux et celles qui désirent se lancer dans l'agriculture biologique sur petite surface. Le maraîcher raconte son parcours au micro d'Isabelle Craig.
Très heureux aujourd'hui d'accueillir Suleyka Montpetit pour le 124e épisode du podcast. Suleyka, qui est la dirigeante de l'entreprise "L'institut des jardinier maraicher", une plateforme de cours en en ligne conçu pour les agriculteurs, nous a fait le plaisir de partager avec nous l'histoire assez atypique du lancement de son entreprise. L'organisation qui a été lancée en 2017 par Jean-Martin Fortier et Suleyka, a considérablement grossi dans les dernières années au point de maintenant désservir des clients dans 80 pays. Dans l'entretien de près de 45 minutes on parle donc du parcours en affaires de Suleyka, de la croissance de "L'Institut des Jardinier Maraicher" ainsi que des plans futures des 2 fondateurs.

Jean-William et Mickael reçoivent (à distance!) Jean-Martin Fortier, maraîcher bio de renom, entrepreneur et auteur primé du best-seller Le jardinier-maraîcher. Bien connu pour son engagement et sa vision, Jean-Martin nous parle de souveraineté alimentaire au Québec.nbsp; Une entrevue amicale puisque les deux frères Côté, qui connaissent bien Jean-Martin, travaillent depuis plusieurs étés dans l'une de ses fermes.nbsp;
L'équipe de Élevage et Cultures a participé le 7 mai 2021 une corvée solidaire organisée par Québec Solidaire, aux Jardins de la Grelinette, l'une des fermes de Jean-Martin Fortier et Maude-Hélène Desroches. En plus d'organiser une rencontre entre citoyens et producteurs maraîchers, Émilise Lessard-Therrien, députée de Québec Solidaire dans la circonscription de Rouyn-Noranda-Témiscamingue, et Alexandre Legault, porte-parole de Québec Solidaire dans Brome-Missisquoi, ont eu la chance de discuter de plusieurs enjeux d'actualité avec Maude-Hélène Desroches, tels que la biodiversité, la polyculture, les aspects économiques, écologiques et sociologiques du développement de l'agriculture (biologique ou non) dans Brome-Missisquoi et au Québec en général, de la relève, de souveraineté alimentaire, des modèles féminins en agriculture, et encore bien d'autres sujets passionnants qui forgent notre agriculture et notre alimentation de demain! Nous vous proposons de vous joindre à cette conversation authentique, engagée mais presque intime, enregistrée entre deux corvées agricoles, dans un champs, en plein printemps. Bonne écoute!nbsp;
Bon matin ! .// Grand jour aujourd'hui, le micro est tendu à Maude-Hélène Desroches co-fondatrice des célèbre Jardins de la Grelinette – avec Jean-Martin Fortier – qui ont ouvert la voie à beaucoup de vocations agricoles au Québec et dans le monde !

Donate to The Permaculture Podcast Online: via PayPal Venmo: @permaculturepodcast Karen Lanier shares what she learned while writing The Woman Hobby Farmer, a book that helps us look inside of ourselves and to decide whether we are ready to farm and to ask the question, “Why do I want to farm?” That core question arises from Karen's life experiences with an aunt who farmed, continuing through the interviews she conducted with women farmers, including some folks, to my delight and surprise, who I've spoken with over the years. Taking those stories and lived moments, Karen shows the importance of showing up, participating, and most importantly listening. Though we may come from a particular place regarding agriculture and farming, we have a lot to learn from our friends, neighbors, and family, who picked up the plow before us. Find out more about her and her work at kalacreative.net. There you can also purchase your own copy of The Woman Hobby Farmer and find more information about her upcoming documentary. Patreon Giveaway: The Woman Hobby Farmer What I love about this conversation with Karen is the reality of what it means to farm, and the need to make the right decision of whether or not we want to. There is a physical toll that comes from farming. A dear friend of mine in the community is facing that knowledge right now and considering how to pass their farm along to someone else to manage so they can “move to town” while continuing to teach the next generation of farmers. An interim space for many of us is a garden. With a little bit of land and a little bit of time we can provide food and security for ourselves, but that discussion and those numbers are a conversation for a different episode. Suffice to say, we should take a stark look at whether or not deciding to start a farm is our best path. Thankfully, as we discussed, Karen provides tools, worksheets, and stories, for helping to make that very serious choice. The other side, as mentioned, is that Yes, you can make a living at this and there is plenty of evidence for that possibility. Some of those include past interviews with Jean-Martin Fortier and Joel Salatin, or what I've personally witnessed from Susana Lein or Holly Brown, but there is a price that comes with it. Many people who farm, by the numbers, do not bring in a great deal of financial income, that is a reality of this, especially as things scale up and more money is spent on tools, equipment, and labor, but there are other possibilities that arise by shifting in this direction. Finally, my favorite insight into all of this is to show up and listen. Get yourself to farms. Find on-farm training sessions. Go and open your ears. Attend agricultural conferences if you can, and not just ones on organic or regenerative. See if your local extension office or land-grant university has meetings. Join The Grange, the full name of which, as I learned while writing this, is The National National Grange of the Order of Patrons of Husbandry. These folks are our allies. Many of them, especially ones like The Grange, want to promote the science of agriculture and community resilience, ideas that should seem common to any permaculture practitioner. We have a lot to learn from them and to share. Show up. Participate. Be a part of your local community. You, and all of us, benefit from working together for the future that we want to see. -- What did you think of this conversation with Karen? Does it give you a different perspective on what you do and don't know about farming and agriculture? Whether you have answers to those or just more questions, I'm here to listen to give more insight if I'm able. Email: The Permaculture Podcast Or Write: The Permaculture Podcast The Permaculture Podcast From here, the next episode is a conversation with Jill and Brad of Desert Harvesters to discuss their new bioregional cookbook, Eat Mesquite and More!

Donate to The Permaculture Podcast Online: via PayPal Venmo: @permaculturepodcast How do we limit the damage of the greatest terrestrial environmental disaster ever, climate change? By drawing down carbon. How we do that, and the most effective ways possible, form the base of this conversation with Eric Toensmeier, as he shares his ongoing research about the impacts of agriculture and how we can use agroforestry to increase productivity and sequester carbon. As an overview of the global state of carbon farming, Eric also discusses the reality of what we can do, through dietary practices and engaging in our own food production, to create change. For those of you inclined towards policy and top-down approaches, you'll hear plenty of possibilities of how you can move the conversation in your community and with your legislators. Find out more about him at perennialsolutions.org, and The Carbon Farming Solution at ChelseaGreen.com. Visit our partner: Food Forest Card Game Given the range of topics touched on regarding climate change, the resources below include not only those that Eric mentioned, but also a number of previous interviews with Dr. Laura Jackson, Keefe Keeley of The Savanna Institute, small-scale farmers Lee and Dave O'Neill at Radical Roots, and the market farmer Jean-Martin Fortier, as well as Jerome Osentowski of Central Rocky Mountain Permaculture. In the conversation with Jerome, he even touches on the impacts he's seeing of climate change after his many years in the high altitude environment of Colorado where CRMPI calls home, and the focus of his decades of work on greenhouses. As I put together the notes for this show, I'm left thinking about how to move forward in a meat-reduced world and have questions I need to answer. How viable is meat on leftovers? What systems do we need to implement to capture food waste so it gets to animals instead of the refuse bin? I should have expected to be left with more questions after speaking with Eric, so am going to keep digging into this and will share more as I find it. I would like to have Eric back sometime to continue the conversation about permaculture and food production on marginal land. If you have questions about this or anything else we covered in today's conversation, leave a comment in the show notes below, or get in touch.
