TMG Research is dedicated to driving just and sustainable transitions through action research and advocacy. Committed to a rights-based approach, our programmes focus on land governance, food system transformations in rural and urban settings, and adaptation to climate change.

At TMG, science with society is more than a principle; it’s how we work to ensure equitable pathways to sustainable development. We explore how local innovations and global policies intersect to drive systemic change, ensuring that international frameworks are both inspired by and responsive to community-led transformations. Our research projects and advocacy are co-developed with civil society, policymakers, scientists and the private sector to ensure international sustainability efforts are informed by emergent innovations and forge real-world solutions.

TMG is headquartered in Berlin, with a team in Nairobi. Our research focuses primarily on the European Union and Africa, including Benin, Kenya, Madagascar, Malawi, and South Africa.
