    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:

    Organisations:

    Zero Waste SA enables people to improve their recycling and waste avoidance practices, whether at home, at work or in industry. A South Australian state government organisation, their waste management achievements have been recognised by the UN as global best practice and through collaboration, advocacy, financial incentives and education, they continue to make a huge impact on waste reduction. No stranger to the FoodWise principles, Zero Waste SA have come on board as a key contributor to our online resources.

    Love Food Hate Waste – NSW EPA – FoodWise has partnered with the NSW EPA’s Love Food Hate Waste program to let people know what they can do to reduce the 4 million tonnes of food Australians waste each year. The partnership has seen the production of a series of clips with Masterchefs Callum Hann and SBS’s Destination Flavour’s Renee Lim on how households can save money and help the environment. The Food Donation Tool Kit – the partnership’s second project – was launched in May 2012, and is a guide for businesses on how to donate surplus food to charities.

    Animals Australia is one of Australia’s largest and most dynamic national animal protection organisations, representing some 40 member societies and thousands of individual supporters.

    Oxfam Australia works to bring about positive change in the lives of people living in poverty. Oxfam’s GROW campaign is working to change the fact that almost 870 million people go to bed hungry every night, not because there isn’t enough food, but because of deep injustices in the global food system. Oxfam has contributed articles on Fair Trade and Food Security to the Foodwise website.
