OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The protests against the Farm Laws in India have entered a crucial phase as the farmers’ agitation continues to gather mass and momentum across the country. There is widespread concern that the laws pave the way for increased corporatization of agricultural markets, leaving small-holder farmers at a disadvantage. The various perspectives can be difficult to navigate and in this session, our speakers will aim to clarify and highlight the key issues at stake. This includes important questions such as: How do the new laws affect the way in which India feeds its population? How might these laws transform the institutions and structures of Indian agriculture? Will the Farm Laws incentivise a new scale of mechanised agri-business which is feared to displace livelihoods and labour? Our speakers will discuss this and more at this webinar co-hosted by the Oxford India Centre for Sustainable Development and Wolfson South Asia Research Cluster.
