HISTORY

​

Since 2010, CREDÉTAO has been managing the Plateforme agricole de l'Ange-Gardien, a turnkey organic vegetable production site for young farmers. The platform has been a great success, welcoming over 40 companies since its inception.

​

 

Buoyed by this success, and in response to requests from the community, CREDÉTAO undertook an opportunity study to identify promising themes for the development of new platforms. This was the premise of the three new platforms for incubating and accelerating agricultural businesses in the Outaouais region, which now form RésOterres.

 

In recent years, CREDÉTAO has conducted research and development projects on :

• pearl millet

• sweet sorghum

• fines herbs

• hops

• ginseng

​

​

CREDÉTAO also conducted the following studies: 

• Les filières porteuses de l'Outaouais (2021)

• Characterization of the feeding potential of the Outaouais forest (2021)
