Memories of Denmark

IFAJ’s 2022 Congress resources are now online

More than 150 attendees went home from Denmark with warm memories, great inspiration and fascinating stories for their audiences following the 2022 IFAJ Congress. After two years of postponements due to Covid, the Danish guild, DFLJ, delivered an outstanding congress and fascinating tours.

The 2022 Congress website is packed with resources from the event, including photos, presentation slides, videos, articles published by congress attendees, and the detailed congress book full of background on Danish agriculture. (A Facebook account is needed to access some of the content.)
