Gelato Burgers
Gelato is great. Burgers are great. So, putting the two together seems like a more than sensible thing to do, right? Famous New York gelato chain Amorino certainly seemed to think so, and judging by these pictures, they’re not wrong. Their gelato burger consists of two scoops of pistachio, lychee or mango gelato, sandwiched between two Nutella-spread chocolate buns, and looks a perfect sweet treat as the temperature starts to heat up.

Eco-friendly city farming
In efforts to improve an already-impressive food waste recycling programme in South Korea, the government in Beondong, north of Seoul, have given a handful of residents farming lessons and a recycling system to encourage urban farming. City farmers’ small squares of garden are now fertilised using food waste from their very own homes, offering a glimpse into how food waste recycling rates in South Korea have jumped from 2.1% to over 90%, from 1995 to 2016.

Get paid to drink beer in Belgium
Belgian wheat beer brand Hoegaarden are whisking away a lucky group of travellers to the beer’s hometown of the very same name. They’ll pay for your travels to the quaint, rustic village of Hoegaarden, your accommodation, and even give you $1,445 spending money for your troubles, a nod to the beer’s birth in the year 1445. We’ll drink to that.
