MRC d’Abitibi-Ouest – Elye Carrier
SIMON AND FRÉDÉRIQUE
It was during our Bachelor's degree in agronomy at Laval University that we met. Little did we know, that was the beginning of a long process of reflection that led to the creation of Écoboeuf!
Being part of the fourth generation of the family farm, Simon is now pursuing a Ph.D. in animal sciences at Université Laval . He aims to bring about positive change for the sustainability of agricultural businesses in his region and the fight against climate change.
​
Although Frédérique grew up in Quebec City, her passion for agriculture is equally strong. Initially interested in the plant aspect of agronomy, she discovered a keen interest in cattle production when she met Simon... She is currently pursuing her master's degree in agroforestry at the University of Quebec in Abitibi-Témiscamingue.
