The Natural Resources Institute (NRI) is a specialist institute of the university of Greenwich.

We provide research, consultancy, training and advisory services to underpin sustainable development, economic growth and poverty reduction. The majority of our activities focus on the harnessing of natural and human capital for the benefit of developing countries, though much of our expertise has proved to be of growing relevance to industrialized nations.

Our mission is "to provide distinctive, high quality and relevant research, consultancy, learning and advice in support of sustainable development, economic growth and poverty reduction".

Our main themes are:

• Making agriculture work for the poor
• Food and trade
• Change and vulnerability
• Capacity strengthening
