Association Des Futures Agronomes Du Quebec

AFAQ is an association made up of motivated students that are interested in agriculture and in the practice of agronomy in Quebec. It promotes the profession of agronomist (“agronome”) among Mac students and it creates the link between the students, the “Ordre des Agronomes du Québec (OAQ)” and McGill University. This will be done through various funny activities such as one-day internship “Agronome d’un jour”, movie nights, contests with prizes, guest speakers and more! AFAQ is also responsible for the sale of the “Mémento”, the official book for the OAQ admission exam. All the activities are done to keep students informed about agriculture in Quebec.

Fermentation and Brewing Club (FAB)

The purpose of this club is to spread the gospel of fermentation and its derivatives (including brewing). Introducing students to the basics behind fermenting through hands-on workshops and developing their palates to recognize the wide application that fermented goods have in culinary uses.

Opening the world of ferments can include beer, cider, kimchi, kombucha, hot sauce, miso, etc. Through the introduction of these topics there will be the potential for field trips. Including distillery tours, vineyard visits, specialty restaurants/grocers and more. With fermentation the options are endless and so is our pursuit of knowledge.

MacDonald Student Ecological Garden (MSEG) 

The Macdonald Student-Run Ecological Garden is a diversified vegetable farm located at the Macdonald Campus of McGill University in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, Quebec. The farm  is run entirely by students, where each employed student commits two growing seasons to the farm, allowing the student club to operate as a highly effective and unique “farmer incubator program”. This gives the students a level of responsibility and training that is not generally possible with internships at larger, more established market gardens. Although the farm does not have organic certification, it is operated using practices that are within organic guidelines.
