How to form a National Association of Agricultural Journalists and join IFAJ
If you live in a country that does not have an IFAJ-member association, you can join together with other professionals involved in agricultural communications (writing, editing, photography, public relations, web, broadcast, electronic, farm organization communication management).
The IFAJ strongly recommends individuals in each country band together to form a national association of agricultural journalists and apply for IFAJ membership as a member-country. To do this, you must provide IFAJ with letter requesting IFAJ membership, a description of your association and members, and a copy of your association's constitution in an official IFAJ language (English, German, French). To see a sample constitution, click here. Your association request for membership will be considered at an upcoming meeting of the IFAJ.
