May 2, 2024 - Since 2006, the International Federation of Agricultural Journalists (IFAJ) and Alltech, a global leader in agriculture and animal nutrition, have partnered to support the Young Leaders in Agricultural Journalism Awards that recognise the leadership potential of young members (under 35 years of age). As young agricultural journalists and communicators, they have the important role of sharing the stories of agriculture with the world.

The winners also participate in a unique three-day professional development workshop immediately prior to the IFAJ Congress. The workshop emphasises reporting skills and leadership training and includes agriculture tours.

"The Young Leaders program has helped agricultural journalism guilds and IFAJ grow for nearly two decades," said IFAJ secretary-general, Addy Rossi. "The IFAJ/Alltech Young Leaders program is more than just an award to recognise rising young stars in our industry - it provides training, networks and contagious energy to tomorrow's guild and federation leaders."
"Many of the officers and active volunteers in national guilds and IFAJ's governing bodies have been Young Leaders," he added. "With its generous sponsorship and deep commitment to the future of agricultural journalism, Alltech has helped train a generation of world leaders."
