HOW WE OPERATE
The Fédération des agricultrices du Québec, known as the Agricultrices du Québec or AQ, is the only agricultural organization in Quebec dedicated exclusively to women in this sector. The Federation comprises ten regional women farmers’ syndicates that lobby to help shape decisions that affect the agriculture sector and the status of women, representing all women farmers living in Quebec.
AQ is an affiliated group of the Union des producteurs agricoles (UPA), whose members are involved at the local, regional and provincial levels.
