The Guild of Agricultural Journalists

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.

The IFAJ holds an annual congress, for international delegates to meet. This year the IFAJ Congress takes place in Fort Worth, Texas, and will expand the scope of agricultural journalism conferences to the distant horizon - and beyond.

In addition to extensive tours of area agriculture, the traditional IFAJ delegate meeting, briefings from officials of the Texas Department of Agriculture (representing an $80 billion farm economy), hot Texas beef and cold Texas beer, IFAJ members will join in the professional development seminars and fun of the Agricultural Media Summit.

The Ag Media Summit draws hundreds of journalists, publishers, designers, public relations professionals and students from the United States and Canada for a rich program of professional development sessions and briefings from the day’s top newsmakers.
