Marcel Rutten's research activities concentrate on natural resource management, notably of land and water, in (semi-)arid Africa. In addition, his interest is directed to (eco)tourism and Kenyan politics. Currently three research programmes are being carried out: conflicts over land; famine and drought coping strategies; and sustainable development of low-cost water sources (shallow wells).
