Jean-Martin Fortier (born 1978) is a Québécois farmer, author, educator and advocate for ecological, human-scale, and economically viable sustainable agriculture. He is the founder, with his wife, Maude-Hélène Desroches, of Les Jardins de la Grelinette, a certified organic market garden in Saint-Armand, Quebec. The farm has become internationally known for achieving profitability and productivity using biologically intensive cropping systems. The low-tech, high-yield methods of production employed on the micro-farm form the basis of Fortier's book, The Market Gardener: A Successful Grower's Handbook for Small-Scale Organic Farming. An educational film called The Market Gardener's Toolkit, in which Fortier describes the tools and techniques used on his farm, was released in 2016. Source: Wikipedia (en)
