This course would not be the same without the contribution of our trainers: Yvan Perreault, Benoit Michaud, Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Plante, Genevi\u00e8ve Long\u00e8re, Anny Malo, Diane Bernard, Domingo Cisneros, Francis Lacelle and Jean-Fran\u00e7ois L\u00e9v\u00eaque. We would also like to thank our regional partners who believe in the economic potential of NTFPs and support their emergence. For this second edition, we can count on the financial support of the Service aux entreprises et \u00e0 la communaut\u00e9 of the Centre multiservice des Samares, the Centre local de d\u00e9veloppement (CLD) Matawinie and the MNA for Joliette, Mme V\u00e9ronique Hivon and the SADC de d'Autray-Joliette. We would also like to thank the municipality of Saint-F\u00e9lix-de-Valois, host of the training, as well as all the companies and individuals who collaborated in any way with the training. Thank you all, and the adventure continues!<\/p>\n

In closing, we'd like to take a brief look at the emergence of this sector in the Lanaudi\u00e8re region, and show that things are moving forward. Three companies have emerged in the agroforestry sector over the past year: Forest basket <\/a>(Saint-Z\u00e9non), coop\u00e9rative de solidarit\u00e9 Matawinie (COOPSOM) and La belle aux bois gourmand<\/a> (Joliette). They are closely following the training program, having attended presentations, and are counting on it to ensure the recruitment of a quality workforce with skills that meet their needs. As for the regional partners, a concertation table has been set up, initiated by the Conseil de d\u00e9veloppement bioalimentaire de Lanaudi\u00e8re, and is working on concertation, monitoring the progress of projects and representing them at the European level.PlanCoursPFNL2013-2014_0713<\/a>We are also involved in the development of a provincial NTFP policy. A number of initiatives have been undertaken by the table and its partners, including a code of ethics for NTFP harvesting and a list of commercially valuable non-timber forest products.<\/p>\n
