This year’s Annual Review from our Natural Resources Institute demonstrates the excellence of their research across a diversity of issues, which aims to improve the lives of some of the world’s poorest people. Their teams are consistently awarded prestigious grants from major funders including the UK Department for International Development, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, UK Research Councils and the European Union, in areas such as food and nutrition security, sustainable business and finance models, controlling major pests and diseases, and gender and social difference. Importantly, the world-leading researchers at NRI are also experienced lecturers, who engage their students in an exciting range of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, and who supervise a growing group of dynamic postgraduate research students. Their teaching contributes to the University of Greenwich’s silver rating in the Teaching Excellence Framework in recognition of high-quality resources, teaching and personalised provision.
