Eleven years ago, the Foundation held a landmark international conference on Agrarian Issues. Since then, there have been major changes, nationally and globally, that have affected the agrarian economy (rural economy) of India and of other developing countries. The Foundation for Agrarian Studies will hold a conference from November 6 through 9, 2025, that will take stock of current thinking and scholarship on rural change.

The aim of this conference is to identify ways to address these pressing problems of small producers and agrarian economies by bringing together scientists and social scientists, policy makers and grassroots activists from India and elsewhere.
