PREPARATION
Marinade (must be prepare the night before)
1. Mix the wine, garlic and bay leaves (salt,pepper) in a large bowl to make the marinade.
2. Place the rabbit pieces into the marinade, cover and refrigerate overnight.
Cooking
1. The next day, remove the rabbit pieces from the marinade and shake off the excess liquid (don’t throw away the marinade – you’ll be using that later!).
2. Heat up the olive oil in a heavy based saucepan on a high heat and sear the rabbit joints on all sides until lightly browned (approx. 4 minutes on each side). Remove the rabbit pieces from the pan and set them aside.
3. Lower the heat and add more bay leaves and onions into the pan. Simmer the onions under low heat until they are browned (approx. 5 minutes). Add the garlic and continue to stir gently for another minute.
4. Add the tomato pulp or the mashed plum tomatoes to the pan and increase the heat slightly. Cook for approximately 5 minutes.
5. Now add the marinade, and increase the heat to bring the sauce to a boil.
6. Once again, add the rabbit joints to the pan and mix them into the sauce, topping up the pan with water until all the rabbit pieces are covered.
7. Cover the pan with a lid until it comes to boil and then reduce the heat to a medium simmer.
8. Wait for half an hour and then add the sliced carrots, diced potatoes and tomato puree’. Make sure all the vegetables are covered with liquid and continue to simmer the stew for another half hour.
9. Wait another half and hour and gently move the lid to cover only half of the pan. This will allow the sauce time to thicken.
10. Now it’s time to check whether everything is cooked. If the rabbit meat falls off the bone easily and the roots of the vegetable are tender, then your rabbit stew is ready!

Maltas wastewater treatment plant
Maltas wastewater treatment plant
The Marsa Wastewater Treatment Plant: Situated in Marsa, this is the largest wastewater treatment plant in Malta.
It treats sewage from a large part of the main island of Malta, including the capital city of Valletta and surrounding areas.
According to EU law, Malta is bound to treat all urban and rural drainage before discharge, in a way that ensures the marine environment is not harmed.
Malta also obtained EU funding to produce irrigation-quality water for farmers from treated sewage effluent, dubbed 'New Water'.
“It is clear that practically all of the deliverables Malta committed to when taking on these funds have been broken,” Agius wrote in his letter to the NAO.

Spain and Portugal follow (1.5 kg), then France and Italy (0.5-1.0 kg)
Belgium and Germany consume 0.1-0.5 kg, others only 0.1 kg per capita
Malta slaughtered 550,000 rabbits in 2016, more than 17 EU countries
500,000 rabbits from backyard farms, 50,000 from commercial slaughterhouses
EU sees a decline in rabbit meat consumption due to convenience foods and pet perception
Some consumers show renewed interest due to health and sustainability concerns
Rabbit meat sector needs organizational structure
Includes large commercial farms and small backyard operations
Currently not captured in official statistics or registers
Producers of all sizes should unite under umbrella structure
Facilitates negotiations with national authorities and information dissemination
Lack of registration skews national statistics
Operations with fewer than 50 does exempt from registration
Backyard rabbit production significant but not accounted for
Estimated 90% of rabbits sourced from backyard farms in Malta
Backyard operations contribute to food security and waste reduction
Operate with circularity, utilizing kitchen scraps and pellet feed

RABBIT PROBLEM IN AUSTRALIA
1859 - Thomas Austin - 13 Rabbits - Hunting
CONSEQUENCES
End 1800 - 10 Billion (Milliarden) Rabbits
invaded 70 % of Australia Area
Disaperance of animals
destruction of forests
destruction of pastures
soil erosion
1830
Great Depression
-> high consumption
Warm Weather
-> rabbits could always reproduce
lack of predators
-> aided by quick breeding
could only kill 2 billion rabbits in a year
Poison - air and ground
Shootings - farmers and military
dangerous Infections
Home explosions
1890 - 1925 - Methodes to kill the rabbits
5600 km long Fence
The myxomatosis Virus
1950
killed around 500 million rabbits
over time developed a resistance
Calicivirus
1995
keeps the population at around 300 million

Consequences of the Viruses
meat infected with cancerous viruses
only 4 farms are breeding rabbits (infected with viruses because of the mosquitoes)
Vaccination costs $40 per rabbit - too expensive for the farmer
wild animals running around - tough meat
-> Rabbit meat is a luxurious treat in Australia and difficult to find
