Share your observations on agriculture and sustainability during the IFAJ Congress
The high-energy, informal Minnesota Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Roundtable, which includes individuals from 280 organizations, is working with IFAJ to invite three reporters or editors — the observers who are witnessing change and writing or broadcasting
sustainability stories — to share insights from the perspectives of their countries.
The forum will focus on SDGs specifically related agriculture: Zero Hunger (Goal 2), Clean Water and Sanitation (Goal 6), Affordable and Clean Energy (Goal 7), Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure (Goal 9), Climate Action (Goal 13) and Life on Land (Goal 15).
Indicate your interest in being considered as a speaker or panel member for the SDG Roundtable forum by contacting the IFAJ Global Office at globalmanager@ifaj.org, with three examples of your work. You must already be planning to attend the congress to be eligible.
Deadline for declarations of interest is May 24, 2019. Applicants should give links to three examples of sustainable development writing or broadcasting.
