“In a world faced with the imminent threat of climate change, two passionate women, Lucy Bell and Lucy Leonardi, have joined forces to do their bit to tackle the enormous challenge of food waste, which contributes to climate change in a big way.”
“Their collaborative effort has resulted in the creation of a remarkable book, called Foodwise. This book is all about helping children to love their veggies, thanks to amazing stories and even better recipes. The two Lucys understand that if we are going to fight food waste, helping children fully appreciate and respect what they eat is going to be key, and that’s the core of the Foodwise message.”
The Origin of Foodwise
Lucy Bell and Lucy Leonardi, the dynamic duo behind Foodwise, both share a deep passion for the environment and the urgency to combat climate change. Inspired by their daughters and their desire for a brighter future, they embarked on this journey to make a difference.
“We discovered that not only do we share a first name, but also a birthday – clearly this book was meant to be,” Bell said.
“We want to take kids on a journey to appreciate food – to learn to experience it using all their senses, cook it in fun and different ways, and to learn where it came from and how it was grown.”
