IAAS

IAAS is the International Association of Students in Agricultural and Related Sciences. Another main part of IAAS is the Exchange Program.

The International Association of Students in Agricultural and Related Sciences (IAAS) is an international non-profit and non-governmental student society headquartered in Leuven, Belgium. IAAS is present in 49 countries, with 108 local committees and 10,000 members worldwide! By the activities we organize our members get the opportunity to learn about agriculture and exchange experience, knowledge

and ideas in all different parts of the world. IAAS organizes a bunch of different activities:
First of all there is the yearly 3 week lasting World Congress where literally members from all over the world come together to talk about the future plans of our association, to experience the local agriculture and just to have fun together. Next to that on continental level there are local directors meetings in Africa, Americas and Europe. Then there are the exchange weeks and seminar weeks organized on initiative of our local committees whit one central agriculture related subject. With ExPro, as it is called, we offer students the opportunity to have a practical experience on a farm, a research institution or an university. Because this program is completely organized by our volunteering members the cost are minimal: just transportation and a small administration fee. Since our establishment over 20.000 students have taken part in our exchange program and took the opportunity to have this practical experience.

FAYI-IAAS’s Climate Adaptation Think Tank, Mildred, youth-led work at FAO: amplifying youth voices at WFF, SIAM and COP29, bridging policy and practice through webinars and capacity building, and advancing initiatives like Education for Empowering Youth into Agriculture. Youth are co-creators, not statistics — inclusive, evidence-based, youth-led agrifood systems must be shaped by those living the realities.
