The REAL-Postgrowth project (Post-growth – REAL – A Post-Growth Deal) is excited to announce that our doctoral candidate at ICTA-UAB, Meghna Goyal will present a public talk as part of our monthly public seminar series.

Seminar: "Increasing inequality in agri-food value chains: global trends from 1995-2020" 

Speaker:  Meghna Goyal, ICTA-UAB doctoral candidate at ICTA-UAB

• Date: Tuesday, January13th, 2026
• Time:  15 -16h (CET)
• Venue: Online ONLY - https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86180037815?pwd=PNjgikbqGwpFThoEnz2Q3Ey98QlPRh.1

The talk will present current research on empirical estimations of global inequality in agri-food value chains. Globalisation and trade has led to increasing inter-sectoral and between country inequality. The argument will be made that inequality is part of the organising logic of global value chains, and is a continuation of rural-urban “transfers of value” since capitalism organised production globally.
