Factory farming conditions and antibiotic-resistant pathogens emerging as a result of them pose an existential threat to humans in the form of zoonotic diseases. Why it’s time to produce and consume food more thoughtfully.

Ingredients to prepare the bibimbap for 2 people
150 g of rice
2 carrots
1 aubergine
100 g of spinach
5 spoonful sesame oil, to be used separately
1 clove of garlic
2 spoonful soy sauce, to be used separately
15 g of dried shiitake mushrooms
1/2 spoonful brown sugar
1/2 teaspoonful toasted sesame seeds
pepper
2 eggs
salt and pepper
Preparation
Steam the rice. Wash, peel, and cut 2 carrots. Heat 1 spoonful of sesame oil in a non-stick pan, over medium heat. Add the carrots and cook, blending for 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and put aside.
Repeat the same proceeding with the aubergine and add some pepper.
Parboil the spinach for 2 minutes. Drain and put them in a bowl with cold water and leave them cool down. Squeeze to remove extra water. Heat 2 spoonful of sesame oil in a non-stick pan, over medium heat. Add 1 clove of chopped garlic and stir fry. Add the spinach, 1 spoonful of soy sauce. Stir fry for a couple of minutes. Season with salt and black pepper, and put aside.
In a small pot add the dried shiitake mushrooms, 1 spoonful of soy sauce, ½ spoonful of brown sugar and ½ cupful of boiling water.
Cover and cook over medium heat, keeping blending for about 15 minutes, until the mushrooms are softened and the liquid shrinks. Leave the mushrooms cool down and cut them in thin slices. Put aside and add ½ spoonful of toasted sesame seeds.
Heat 1 spoonful of sesame oil in a non-stick pan over low/medium heat.
Add the rice. Cook, without blending but only turning the pan, until it is brown and crispy. Put the rice in the bowls, add the vegetables and garnish with the fried eggs. Serve the bibimbap warm.
It can be eaten either with the fork or the chopsticks.

The world of cinema recognises the link between food choices and the climate crisis by offering vegan menus for awards season events, including at the most important of them all: the Oscars.
Let’s look at the reasons behind the growth of veganism in India, as a small yet vocal section of the population turns towards this diet and lifestyle in the largest milk producing country in the world.
by Jeffrey Y. Campbell, Manager of the Forest and Farm Facility at FAO In the Ecuadorian Amazon, Kichwa farmers grow dozens of products on tiny parcels of land. Their lands hum with biodiversity, yielding nutritious foods that have sustained families for generations. Wandering among fruit and nut trees and crops, these indigenous agroforesters fill their baskets
Mint has many health benefits, but in food it’s often accompanied by artificial green colourings. Instead, Galatea has created a green mint ice cream in a completely natural way.
We’re talking about Galatea, a company that produces semi-finished products for artisanal ice creams using high quality ingredients, natural colouring, excluding thickeners and hydrogenated fats, respecting the environment and supporting the less fortunate.
The mad rush to fake food, like fake meat made with genetically-modified soy, ignores the importance of the diversity of our foods and culinary cultures. It’s a recipe to accelerate the destruction of the Planet and our health.
Like with all foods, the quality of an ice cream can be discerned by reading its label. An expert explains how to do this, and tells us how their company steers clear of chemicals, using only natural ingredients to produce an excellent and “free” ice cream.
Quality ingredients, no artificial colouring and hydrogenated fats. These are the main features of a great ice cream. But what makes an ice cream parlour “good”, i.e. sustainable?
