Natural Resources Institute (NRI)

Description

Using an interdisciplinary approach, the Natural Resources Institute (NRI) undertakes research, teaching, training and consultancy to address interrelated global challenges affecting everyone from local farmers and consumers, to the UK food industry, to smallholder communities in the developing world.

The Institute along with international partners, tackles issues including poverty, food and nutrition security, sustainable agriculture, climate change, gender and social equality, responsible production and consumption, sustainable management of natural resources and the environment.

NRI’s work addresses the UN Sustainable Development Goals – the globally agreed plan of action to achieve sustainable development for all by 2030 – and is organised through Research Groups and Development Programmes.
