Partners & Contributors
DoSomething! is a small team of people. We’re able to do what we do because of the generous and devoted support of a huge number of partners and contributors.
It’s a pleasure for this campaign to bring together knowledge and expertise from the likes of chefs, farmers, nutritionists, environmentalists, food charities, bloggers, fellow not-for profits and government organisations.
FoodWise would like to acknowledge and thank the following organisations and individuals for their support and involvement with the campaign:
