IFAJ 2025 Congress website goes live as Kenya prepares to host historic showpiece
March 14, 2025, Nairobi, Kenya – The Media for Environment, Science, Health, and Agriculture (MESHA) has launched the official IFAJ 2025 Congress website at https://ifaj2025.meshascience.org/.
The site serves as the central hub for event details, registration, program updates, and insights into Kenya’s vibrant agricultural sector.
The IFAJ 2025 Congress will take place from October 14 to 19, 2025, at the Boma Hotel in Nairobi, Kenya. The newly launched website offers a seamless experience for delegates, providing access to the full congress program, comprehensive information on field tours, pre and post congres tours together with cultural experiences, registration information as well as resources for delegates and media partners.
The IFAJ 2025 Congress marks a historic milestone as the first-ever edition in East, Central, West and North Africa. Only South Africa has hosted it twice in the past.
“This prestigious global gathering will bring together top agricultural journalists and communicators to explore agricultural journalism’s latest trends, innovations, and challenges in Kenya,” says Bozo Jenje, MESHA Chairman. He added that since 1958, the IFAJ Congress has provided a platform for industry professionals to network and exchange knowledge.
“Following successful African editions in South Africa (2004, 2017), we at MESHA are proud to announce that the Congress returns to the continent for the third time, this time spotlighting Kenya’s thriving agriculture, sustainability efforts, and cultural richness,” said Aghan Daniel, Secretary MESHA who also doubles as the Congress Director.
MESHA, Africa’s leading science journalism network with over 120 members, 50 of whom specialise in agriculture reporting, is spearheading this historic event. With two decades of experience promoting science and agricultural reporting across Africa, MESHA is well-positioned to host this global gathering to showcase Kenya’s agricultural innovations.
Delegates will explore Kenya’s dynamic agricultural sector through immersive field tours. These include visiting the Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization (KALRO) Coffee Research Institute in Ruiru, Kiambu County, witnessing advancements in dairy technology and value chain development in Nai’posha Dairy Farm, and experience the innovative world of black soldier fly (BSF) production and observe how BSF larvae is transforming the production of animal feed by providing a sustainable and affordable protein-rich alternative to traditional feeds in Harcourt Farm Limited among many other tours lined up.
The delegates will also be spolt for choice as they savour the great menu of fun tours and post congress tours to national parks and other touristic attractions within the city and within a radius of just 150km from the Green Ciy in The Sun, as Nairobi is famously referred in touristic cycles.
