Leon Ballin
Place-based Food Systems Manager
Leon joined the Food Foundation at the beginning of 2026 to support our placed-based work and how that intersects with our Bang in Some Beans campaign as well as our food insecurity and policy work. After graduating with a Food Policy MSc, he worked at a food partnership in Nottingham, then at Sustain on their Food Coops programme and most recently at the Soil Association with Food for Life and Sustainable Food Places. Leon believes a good diet is a basic human right and that includes food as culture and celebration. He lives in Sheffield and enjoys spending time in the Peak District where he is an enthusiastic supporter of his city’s music and micro-brewery scene.
