Professor John Morton has a first degree in Social Anthropology from the University of Cambridge, and a PhD from the University of Hull for a thesis on the social organisation of the Northern Beja, a group of semi-nomadic pastoralists in north-eastern Sudan. After working for Oxfam in north-eastern Sudan during the famine of 1985-86, he worked as a consultant for a variety of NGOs, UN agencies, etc., including three years as a freelance consultant based in Pakistan. He joined NRI in 1993. He has been Professor of Development Anthropology since 2004. He was Associate Research Director (Social Sciences) 2001-10, Head of the Livelihoods and Institutions Department 2010-18, and Co-Leader of the Centre for Society, Environment and Development 2023-2026.
John has led significant projects within two key research fields. One of these is the social, institutional and policy aspects of livestock development, particularly among pastoralist peoples. Since 2017 John has acted as the social sector specialist in three interdisciplinary studies of value chains for livestock products: beef in Eswatini, milk in Burundi, and cashmere in Mongolia.
John also researches the impacts of climate change on smallholders, pastoralists and other categories of the rural poor, and their prospects for adaptation. He designed and led a research project on Climate Learning for African Agriculture (2011-13), investigating the actual and potential policies and practices of agricultural research and extension services in the face of climate change. He also worked as leader of the Quality Support Component of DFID’s CIRCLE (Climate Impacts Research Capacity and Leadership Enhancement) Programme between 2015 and 2019.
John has published in a variety of high impact journals, including World Development, Global Environmental Change, Climate and Development, Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews Climate Change, Disasters, and the European Journal of Development Research.
John has also carried out high-level consultancies for FCDO, The European Commission, the World Bank, UNDP and several NGOs within his specialist research areas. He is currently Team Leader for Technical Assistance and Third-Party Monitoring for the EU’s €47 million Regional Programme in Livestock and Pastoralism in Eastern Africa. He has field experience in numerous African countries (especially in the Horn of Africa), South Asia and Mongolia. He is fluent in French, and speaks some Arabic.
John served as a Lead Author on smallholder and subsistence agriculture within the chapter on Food, Forests and Fibre of the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and as such he was recognised as contributing to the award of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize to the IPCC. He has subsequently served as Coordinating Lead Author on Rural Areas for the Fifth Assessment Report of 2014 and as Lead Author on Risk Management and Decision Making in Relation to Sustainable Development for the Special Report on Climate Change and Land.
John has two overlapping sets of research interests:
- The social, institutional and political context for livestock development, and for the development of pastoralist communities. He has worked on appropriate methodologies for livestock research among small-scale communities, on factors influencing uptake of tsetse control activities and ways to disseminate those technologies. He has led innovative research projects on the relations of pastoralist communities with elected parliamentarians in Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda, and on the engagement of the Ethiopian private sector (particularly meat and livestock exporters) in pastoral development. His work on livestock product value chains has highlighted the importance of the multifunctionality of livestock systems for small-scale farmers and pastoralists in the Global South, and of the importance of the political-economic context, including land tenure, for livestock production.
- Impacts of climate change and prospects for adaptation: Through work on droughts and other forms of climate variability in pastoral areas John developed an interest in the impacts of climate change on pastoralists, smallholders and other categories of the rural poor, and their prospects for adaptation. This has been expressed through his work for the IPCC, through his leadership of the project Climate Learning for African Agriculture, and his engagement with African climate change researchers at doctoral and post-doctoral level.
Technical Assistance and Third-Party Monitoring for the Programme for Pastoralism and Livestock Adaptation to Climate Change in Eastern Africa (PLACE) 2025-29:
PLACE is a €47 million EU-funded programme, implemented by FAO and partners across seven East African countries, working on rangeland management, livestock water supply, animal health, livelihood diversification, and conflict management. The TA3PM team, led by John, supports the implementation of PLACE through regular monitoring visits to pastoral areas, and is due to produce analytical studies on pastoral development topics, and to contribute to knowledge sharing between PLACE and other stakeholders
Value Chain Analysis for Development (VCA4D), 2017 - :
Within this EU-funded programme, implemented by Agrinatura, John has served as social sector specialist in interdisciplinary studies of value chains for three livestock products (beef in Eswatini, milk in Burundi and cashmere in Mongolia), and one forest product (pinenuts in Mongolia). In each case he was responsible for reporting on the social sustainability of the value chain, including working conditions, access to land, gender equality, food security, social capital and living conditions. For the two Mongolia studies he also acted as Team Leader He used a mixture of rural fieldwork, interviews with stakeholders, and review of existing documents and data (in Burundi also inputs to design and analysis of a major structured survey), while collaborating with economic and environmental specialists. Each study has contributed to programme planning for EU Delegations. John’s involvement with VCA4D has also resulted in a journal paper comparing livestock value chains across countries, a role as resource person in a study of wheat in Moldova, and a contribution to social sector training guidelines.
Evaluation of CLiP (Improved productivity through crop-livestock interventions in Eastern DR Congo and Burundi), 2023. John was Team Leader for this case-study as part of a broader EU-funded review of CGIAR projects.
Livestock State of Play, 2021: John researched and wrote this major public-facing document, including an original horizon-scanning of the major issues in livestock development across the Global South, an analysis of major trends in EU cooperation in the livestock, and selected project case-studies. The document was approved as a publication of the EU and is available at https://op.europa.eu/en/publication-detail/-/publication/5dbb472e-d42b-11ed-a05c-01aa75ed71a1/language-en
