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 for 12 cupcakes
For the fillo dough:
200 g of flour
2 eggs
a little salt
For the stuffing:
1 litre of béchamel (prepared with milk, flour and oil)
6 spoonful of grated Parmesan cheese
500 g of spinach
400 g of champignon mushroom
4 artichokes
parsley
1 clove of garlic
nutmeg
salt
black pepper to grind
extra virgin olive oil
Preparation
Make a well with the flour on a pastry board, then break two eggs inside the well. Add a pinch of salt and mix the eggs with the flour with a fork. Knead the dough with your hands until the flour is completely mixed with the eggs and then add a spoonful of lukewarm water to soften the dough. Knead until smooth and compact. Wrap the dough in a cling film and let it rest for half an hour in a fresh and dry place. In the meantime, lightly fry spinach in a pot with very little salt. Drain and put aside. Sautee the garlic and onion in a pan with oil, sliced champignon mushrooms and diced artichokes. Add minced parsley, salt and black pepper. Before turning off the heat add spinach and mix well. Put aside.
Prepare the béchamel with flour, extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of nutmeg.
Rolled out the fresh dough with the pasta maker until it is as thin as possible. Cut the fillo dough in 10 cmx10 cm squares and boil for a few seconds in boiling salted water. Cut in the remaining dough 12 circles of dough of 6 cm and boil for a few seconds in boiling water as you did with the squares. Grease a cupcake mold and put a square of fillo dough in each mold. Pour a spoonful of béchamel, 2-3 spoonful of mixed vegetables and a teaspoonful of Parmesan cheese; then, put a circle of dough in every mold and put another layer of the previous stuffing: a spoonful of béchamel, a couple of spoonful of vegetables and sprinkle with grated cheese.
Bake the cupcake lasagne in a fan oven at 180° for about 35 minutes.

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?
