Mot du président général

Martin Caron Président général

À l’occasion du 97e Congrès général de l’Union, j’ai eu le privilège d’accéder à la présidence de cette belle et grande organisation. C’est une responsabilité qui me procure une très grande fierté. D’abord parce que les agricultrices et les agriculteurs sont des gens passionnés qui pratiquent un métier noble et exigeant. Ensuite parce que les défis qui nous attendent pour nourrir l’humanité durablement sont nombreux.
