Nathan Atkinson
Co-Founder
Rethink Food
With over two decades as an educator including as headteacher of a large inner-city primary school, Nathan witnessed firsthand how hunger halts learning. In response, he co-founded Rethink Food in 2018, which now supports more than 700 schools across the UK, delivering thousands of hours of health and food-security education. Nathan’s innovative work, which also includes in providing universal breakfasts and community cafés in schools, has influenced policy conversations about embedding food education into the national curriculum.
