IRG works in non-industrialized countries to sustain the natural resource base underpinning and transitioning agricultural activity, helping to grow rural economies and improve lives. Our technical experts offer strategic planning, policy analysis, and capacity building assistance to foster sustainable production and enterprise and market development. We are a leading advocate of participatory approaches to community-based natural resource management with applied and refined co-management of forest, energy, pasture, wildlife, coastal, and freshwater resources worldwide.

Overall, we strive to help public and private organizations manage valuable natural resources in ways that are environmentally sustainable, equitable, financially viable, and supportive of economic development.
