Alankrita Goswami

Dr. Alankrita Goswami serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Agribusiness and Agricultural Economics at the University of Manitoba's Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences, based at the Fort Garry campus in Winnipeg. Her research and teaching focus on critical intersections of agricultural markets, policy, and climate dynamics within global food systems.

Her academic credentials include:

• PhD in Agricultural and Applied Economics, University of Georgia, United States
• Post Graduate Diploma in Rural Management, Institute of Rural Management Anand (IRMA), India
• Bachelor of Technology in Biotechnology, Amity University, India

Dr. Goswami's research expertise centers on Agricultural commodity markets, price analysis, and risk management, with significant contributions to understanding market microstructure, agricultural policy impacts, and farm-level economic decision-making. Her work uniquely bridges US commodity markets (particularly Corn Belt climate adaptation) and Indian agricultural systems (focusing on irrigation policy and dairy economies), employing advanced econometric modeling to address volatility, hedging effectiveness, and policy evaluation challenges.

Analysis of her 2016-2025 publications reveals evolving expertise from India-focused irrigation policy (PMKSY evaluations) toward sophisticated modeling of North American commodity market dynamics, with recent work emphasizing climate-market interactions in biofuel feedstocks and planting behavior. Key methodological strengths include time-series analysis of price relationships and recursive modeling of agricultural subsystems.

Her scholarly recognition includes:

• Outstanding Teaching Assistant Award, University of Georgia (2019)
• Continuation of On-merit Scholarship Award, Amity University (2009-2010)
• On-merit Scholarship Award, Amity University (2008-2009)

As faculty member, Dr. Goswami contributes to graduate education through course instruction and thesis supervision in agribusiness economics, while advancing research that informs agricultural risk management tools and policy design. Her ongoing work continues to explore climate-responsive market mechanisms and transnational agricultural economic linkages.
