Trend Summit Speaker Introduction - James Toop

Launched in 2019 with Co-Founder Jamie Oliver, Bite Back has trained 100 Youth Board and alumni aged 14-21 who have put the voice of young people at the heart of the public and policy debate for healthier food environments. They are now partnering with UNICEF to train youth advocates in 5 countries.

James was a teacher in the inaugural cohort of Teach First and is Chair of the Board of Trustees at a Multi Academy Trust in South East London and Kent. He was a member of the Rockefeller-Acumen Food Systems Fellowship in 2022.

James will be discussing the topic of creating demand for healthy sustainable diets, why they're important and for who, the role of policy and how we educate consumers and create demand.
