The Rural Non-Farm Economy (RNFE) project team is an interdisciplinary group from the Natural Resources Institute, University of Greenwich. The Institute has around thirty development, agricultural and natural resource economists, social anthropologists and sociologists.

It is active in research, consultancy and advisory work in developing countries and transition economies, and provides services for international bodies and aid agencies. Its work focuses on economic, social and institutional issues in agriculture, rural and peri-urban development, markets, finance and enterprise, forestry, fisheries, natural resource management, and relief and rehabilitation. NRI is especially concerned with the activities of rural producers, resource managers, traders and formal as well as community-based service institutions, seeking to identify opportunities for policy, institutional and technological development.

The purpose of this Department for International Development (DFID) and World Bank (WB) collaborative initiative for rural development on the Rural Non-Farm Economy: Policy Development Programme is to promote policies that support non-farm rural livelihoods across a range of less developed countries and transition economies.
