Dr Diego Naziri joined the Natural Resources Institute (NRI) of the University of Greenwich in November 2010 as Market and Trade Economist. Before joining NRI, he was Postdoc Fellow at the French Agricultural Research Centre for International Development (CIRAD) and at the Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique (INRA). Between 2006 and 2008 he was Research Fellow at the Agronomic Institute for the Overseas (IAO), the former technical-scientific branch of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs for agriculture and rural development cooperation.

Diego has over 20 years’ experience at the intersection of research and development in agri-food systems across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. His work focuses on pro-poor value chains, postharvest innovation, food loss and waste, trade-related policies and standards, and conservation and sustainable use of agrobiodiversity. He has major expertise in root and tuber crops - particularly potato, sweetpotato and cassava - deepened through his long-term secondment (2014-2025) at the CGIAR International Potato Center (CIP) where he focused on circular economy, postharvest solutions, market-driven innovations for smallholders, and market intelligence for informing demand-led breeding. Diego is skilled in designing and leading complex multi-country research in development partnerships and multi-agency projects funded by major international donors, such as the EU, IFAD, BMGF, and the World Bank. He has a strong record in interdisciplinary team management and multi-stakeholder partnerships with research organizations, governments, NGOs, and private sector actors. Diego is a widely published scholar and active contributor to policy dialogue, with a focus on delivering practical and sustainable solutions bridging research and practice for inclusive and resilient food systems.

Diego has worked in 27 low and middle-income countries (LMIC). Apart from his experience in conducting short-term research and consultancy in LMICs on a number of different commodities, Diego has long-term overseas experience in Africa (Uganda), Asia (Vietnam) and Latin America (Brazil and Argentina). He obtained his Advanced University Degree (BSc/MSc) in “Agricultural Sciences” from the University of Turin (Italy) in 2001 and the PhD in “Cooperation for Sustainable Development” from the University "La Sapienza" of Rome (Italy) in 2006.

Dr. Diego Naziri’s research interests include:

  • Socio-economic research in the agri-food and rural development sectors of low and middle-income countries, including market research, value chain analyses and feasibility studies.
  • Postharvest management, value chain upgrading, and market and business development, including through multi-stakeholder methodologies such as Participatory Market Chain Approach (PMCA) and Farmer Business School (FBS)
  • Food loss and waste diagnostics and reduction, particularly along value chains of perishable crops.
  • Consumer preference and demand studies to inform value chain interventions and breeding programs.
  • Trade-related public and private standards and implications for smallholder farmers’ market access.
  • Participatory agrobiodiversity assessments and in-situ/ex-situ integrated strategies for conserving genetic resources.
  • Establishment and management of partnerships among research organizations and government agencies, NGOs, private sector and service providers, including multi-stakeholder platforms.
  • Intellectual, technical and management leadership of interdisciplinary teams involving both biophysical and social scientists.

Diego is a member of:

  • NRI Centre for Food System Research (CFSR) NRI Centre for Society, Environment & Development (CSED)
  • NRI Research Group on Food Processing & Innovation
  • NRI Research Group Food Waste & Postharvest Technology
  • NRI Research Group on Innovation & Learning in Agriculture
  • Agrinatura Working Group on Research and Innovation.

Value Chain Analysis for Development (VCA4D): Capacity Building in Palestine (2026)

Team Leader and Economic Analysis Expert for training and coaching Ministry of Agriculture, FAO and Palestinian Agricultural Relief Committee (PARC) officers in the European Commission’s VCA4D methodology. The initiative addresses the need for locally embedded expertise to assess agricultural value chains and inform evidence-based development strategies. VCA4D integrates functional, economic, social and environmental analyses to assess value chains’ contributions to inclusive and sustainable growth. The project aims to strengthen national analytical capacity and support the application of this multidisciplinary framework to agricultural development, investment planning and policy dialogue. Future work will focus on applying the methodology and consolidating local expertise.

Market Intelligence and Product Profiling for Impactful Crop Breeding (2022–2024)

Senior Scientist in the One CGIAR Initiative on Market Intelligence, supporting evidence-based prioritisation of investments in crop breeding and seed systems. Led the revision and characterisation of potato and sweetpotato market segments, working with International Potato Center (CIP) and national programme breeders to identify products with the greatest potential for impact. Findings informed significant changes to CIP breeding strategies, including the geographical focus of iron-biofortified potato breeding and the reopening of sweetpotato breeding in Nigeria. Additional research assessed East African potato processing requirements and consumer preferences for boiled and steamed potato and sweetpotato in Uganda and Vietnam, informing target product profiles and breeding priorities.

Nature-Positive Solutions: Conserving and Using Agrobiodiversity in Vietnam (2022–2024)

Senior Scientist and Country Focal Point for the One CGIAR Initiative on Nature-Positive Solutions. Led research documenting locally managed agrobiodiversity among ethnic minority communities in northern Vietnam, focusing on banana, taro, mustard greens and pumpkin. The research combined participatory methods, morphological characterisation, genotyping and biodiversity assessment to strengthen understanding of threatened and underutilised crop diversity, its nutritional value and conservation opportunities. Activities promoted links between on-farm and genebank conservation, knowledge exchange and educational engagement. Additional funding secured through the ASEAN–CGIAR Regional Program supported school-based activities and training materials to mainstream agrobiodiversity into education curricula. Future research should explore sustainable use, conservation and market opportunities for local crop diversity.

Enterprise Development and Value Chain Schools for Sustainable Potato Systems in Assam, India (2019–2022)

Key Expert for the Enterprise Development component of the project “Improving Farmers’ Livelihoods through Sustainable Intensification and Diversification of Agri-food Systems with Climate Smart Potato Technologies”, under the World Bank-funded Assam Agribusiness and Rural Transformation Project (APART). Led the development of Value Chain Schools, engaging farmers and other value-chain stakeholders in designing, developing and testing technical, commercial and institutional innovations. The approach also supported farmer groups to organise themselves and establish micro-enterprises to exploit identified market opportunities. This work linked climate-smart agricultural technologies with participatory innovation, enterprise development and market-oriented livelihood strategies.
