His book, Ravenous: How to Get Ourselves and Our Planet into Shape, published in March 2023, critiques the food system and proposes solutions.

From 2018 to 2023, Henry served as the lead non-executive board member of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, working under various state secretaries. He has also advised the Labour Party on enhancing the sustainability and security of the food system.
