Joss joined the Food Foundation in June 2023 as our Public Affairs Lead, overseeing engagement with parliamentarians. He has worked for a range of causes in the past including in the disability and health sectors, as well as in human rights law. Prior to this he worked for many years in the House of Commons. He has also studied ceramics and has spent time working as a potter. Joss’ interest in food systems began young, growing up overlooking a farm in Hampshire. He is now the proud owner of an inner city allotment and involved in the management of a community garden on the council estate where he lives.
