The IFAJ annual congress 2026 in Croatia is organised by the Croatian Agricultural Journalists’ Association, the International Federation of Agricultural Journalists, and Arena Studio, a professional congress organiser.

What will we visit during the congress in Croatia?

Founded in 2014, the Croatian Agricultural Journalists’ Association (DANH, abbreviation of ‘Društvo agrarnih novinara Hrvatske’) is a professional organisation dedicated to promoting and developing agricultural journalism. The association serves as a platform for cooperation between journalists, public relations specialists, and agricultural publicists who monitor food production and rural life.

Key Objectives are:

• • • Expert Reporting: Promoting scientific and professional standards in reporting on agriculture and the food industry.
    • Freedom of the press: Protecting the independence of journalists and ensuring the public’s right to objective information.
    • Rural Advocacy: Participating in the work of public institutions to improve the quality of life in rural areas.
    • Networking: Collaborating with both domestic and international journalistic organisations to share best practices.

The association gathers ~20 dedicated members. This specialised group works tirelessly to ensure that the challenges and successes of Croatian farmers and the food industry reach both domestic and international audiences. DANH safeguards the professional interests and ethics of those who give voice to the countryside, ensuring that agricultural issues remain a priority in public discourse.
