NRI's Innovation and Impact themes highlight the contribution our work is making to addressing major global challenges and the SDGs as well as informing policy and practice in the sectors and countries in which we work.

We present examples under each of our Innovation and Impact themes describing how our research and knowledge exchange has contributed to positive change such as more sustainable production, increased biodiversity, higher incomes, improved food security, health and nutrition and social equity.

Close collaboration with our partners and engagement with different stakeholders is key to the process of applying knowledge and developing new forms of organisation.
