Lesi sigaba sihlola ubudlelwano obuyinkimbinkimbi phakathi kwezolimo zezilwane kanye nokuvikeleka kokudla emhlabeni jikelele. Nakuba ukulima kwasefekthri kuvame ukuthethelelwa njengendlela “yokondla umhlaba,” iqiniso lihluke kakhulu—futhi liyakhathaza. Isimiso samanje sisebenzisa isamba esikhulu somhlaba, amanzi, nezilimo ukuze sikhulise izilwane, kuyilapho izigidi zabantu emhlabeni wonke ziqhubeka zihlushwa indlala nokungondleki. Ukuqonda ukuthi amasistimu ethu okudla ahleleke kanjani kuveza ukuthi asengasebenzi kahle futhi awalingani.
Ukufuywa kwemfuyo kuphambukisa izinsiza ezibalulekile—njengokusanhlamvu nesoya—ezingangondla abantu ngokuqondile, esikhundleni salokho zisebenzise ukudla kwezilwane ezifuyelwa inyama, ubisi namaqanda. Lo mjikelezo ongasebenzi kahle unomthelela entuleni yokudla, ikakhulukazi ezifundeni esezivele zisengcupheni yokushintsha kwesimo sezulu, izingxabano, kanye nobubha. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukulima kwezilwane ngamandla kusheshisa ukucekelwa phansi kwemvelo, okubuye kukhinyabeze umkhiqizo wezolimo wesikhathi eside kanye nokuqina.
Ukucabanga kabusha ngezinhlelo zethu zokudla sisebenzisa i-lens yezolimo ezitshalwe ezitshalweni, ukusatshalaliswa ngokulinganayo, kanye nezinqubo ezisimeme kubalulekile ekuqinisekiseni ikusasa elivikelekile lokudla lawo wonke umuntu. Ngokubeka phambili ukufinyeleleka, ukulingana kwemvelo, kanye nesibopho sokuziphatha, lesi sigaba sigqamisa isidingo esiphuthumayo sokusuka kumamodeli axhaphazayo siye ezinhlelweni ezondla kokubili abantu neplanethi. Ukuvikeleka kokudla akukhona nje ngobuningi—kumayelana nokungenzeleli, ukusimama, kanye nelungelo lokuthola ukudla okunomsoco ngaphandle kokulimaza abanye.
Ukwehliswa kwenyama edliwayo sekuyindaba esematheni ekulweni nokuguquguquka kwesimo sezulu kanye nokucekelwa phansi kwemvelo. Ochwepheshe abaningi baphikisa ngokuthi kuphumelela kakhulu ekwehliseni umthelela wemvelo wezolimo kunemizamo yokutshalwa kabusha kwamahlathi. Kulokhu okuthunyelwe, sizohlola izizathu zalesi simangalo futhi sihlole izindlela ezahlukahlukene lapho ukunciphisa ukusetshenziswa kwenyama kungaba nomthelela ohlelweni lokudla oluzinzile futhi olunokuziphatha okuhle. Umthelela Wemvelo Wokukhiqizwa Kwenyama Ukukhiqizwa Kwenyama kunomthelela omkhulu kwezemvelo, okunomthelela ekugawulweni kwamahlathi, ukungcoliswa kwamanzi, kanye nokulahleka kwezinhlobonhlobo zezinto eziphilayo. Ezolimo zemfuyo zibophezele cishe u-14.5% wokukhishwa kwegesi ebamba ukushisa emhlabeni, ngaphezu kwayo yonke imboni yezokuthutha. Ukunciphisa ukudla kwenyama kungasiza ukulondoloza imithombo yamanzi, njengoba kuthatha inani elikhulu lamanzi ukukhiqiza inyama uma kuqhathaniswa nokudla okusekelwe ezitshalweni. Ngokunciphisa ukusetshenziswa kwenyama, singanciphisa umthelela wezolimo kwezemvelo futhi sisebenzele ukuthola uhlelo lokudla oluzinzile. I…
