description Research Framework: Scientific literature shows that farmers are particularly at risk of experiencing mental health problems. However, many farmers mention that their role as fathers is directly related to their state of health. To date, no study has examined the experience of paternal commitment in this population group.Objectives: This article aims to describe the paternal commitment of Abitibi, as they perceived it.Methodology: Descriptive phenomenological research was carried out with 14 farmers. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews, and a descriptive phenomenological analysis was used to interpret the results.Results: The farmers’ comments show that being actively present with their children is the essence of fatherhood, leading them to become involved as fathers in order to meet the physiological and emotional needs of their children, mentor them and ensure their education.Conclusions: This study shows the work/family balance issues specific to farmers. However, further studies are needed to better understand the impact of these issues on the well-being of farmers and their families.Contribution: This research shows that more support is needed for agricultural families, particularly by establishing resources to enable farmers to benefit from paternity leave, to have more time available to spend with their family, and to be able to bring their children to work safely.
