IFAJ welcomes you
The International Federation of Agricultural Journalists (IFAJ) is a non-political, professional association for agricultural journalists in 29 countries. IFAJ supports and encourages the practice of agricultural journalism in countries embracing freedom of the press.
One of IFAJ's mandates is improved contact between agricultural journalists. To that end, IFAJ publishes IFAJ News, organizes an annual congress hosted by a member country's agricultural journalists' association, and maintains a list of contacts, journalists who can help you.
