The Natural Resources Institute (NRI) is a United Kingdom international development, research and education organization focusing on food, agriculture, environment, and sustainable livelihoods in low and middle income nations. It was founded in 1893 and its Head Office is at the University of Greenwich Medway Campus, United Kingdom. It is a public institution, and part of the University of Greenwich.
NRI was formed from the development and merger of many earlier organisations dating back to 1893.. [1] and today contributes to the UK Sustainable Development Goals. The earlier institutes were primarily public sector owned non-profit making organisations and since 1996 [2], has been an Institute within the University of Greenwich. Predecessor organisations were working initially to promote agriculture in tropical countries, as part of the British Empire. After the Balfour Declaration of 1926, the institutes operated as part of the British Commonwealth of Nations (which sought to decolonise the empire by giving each nation equal status). The London Declaration in 1949 further modernised the Commonwealth and hence the mission of NRI's predecessors were to support the interests of Britain in the Colonies. By the 1960's, NRI's predecessors formed part of the British Government Ministry of Overseas Development (ODM) [3] but were tied to promoting British interests (such as British products and expertise), and employees were part of the British Scientific Civil Service. In 1996, NRI ownership was transferred from the then British Overseas Development Administration (ODA) to the University of Greenwich. Under University of Greenwich ownership, NRI has received funding mainly through competitively won international and national projects, UK Research Excellence Framework and teaching.
The preceding institutes (listed below) merged over time to form NRI in 1990.
NRI undertakes research, teaching, training and consultancy to address the UN Sustainable Development Goals. In collaboration with international partners, it seeks to tackle 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 has a staff of over 135 [10] comprising natural and social scientists, technicians, and specialists in project management, administration, communication, finance, IT and other fields.
NRI has four departments:
