Eminyakeni yakamuva, ukuphathwa kabi kwezilwane ngaphakathi kwezindawo zezolimo kuthole ukunakwa okukhulayo, nophenyo oluningi oluyimfihlo oluveza izimo ezishaqisayo. Nakuba kungase kududuze ukukholelwa ukuthi lezi zimo ziyizixakaxaka ezihlukile, iqiniso ligcwele kakhulu futhi liyethusa. Unya olugxilile ngaphakathi kwemboni yezolimo yezilwane akuwona nje umphumela wabalingisi abambalwa ababi; kuyinkinga ehlelekile egxilile kumodeli yebhizinisi lemboni.
Izinga lale mboni liyamangaza. Ngokwezibalo ze-USDA, i-United States iyodwa ibona ukubulawa kwaminyaka yonke kwezinkomo eziyizigidi ezingu-32, izingulube eziyizigidi ezingu-127, izinhlanzi eziyizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-3,8, nezinkukhu ezimangalisayo eziyizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-9.15. Ukuze sikubeke ngombono lokhu, inani lezinkukhu ezibulawa unyaka ngamunye e-US lidlula lonke inani labantu emhlabeni.
Ezweni lonke, izindawo zezolimo ezingu-24,000 zisebenza kuzo zonke izifunda, futhi isithombe esihle sepulazi lomndeni elimangalisayo ukude neqiniso. Eziningi zalezi zakhiwo ziyimisebenzi emikhulu, enezindlu eziningi ezingaphezu kwezi-500,000 zezinkukhu. ngamunye. Lesi sikali sokukhiqiza sigcizelela ubukhulu nokuqina kwemboni, kuphakamisa imibuzo ebucayi mayelana nemithelela yesimilo kanye nemvelo yezenzo ezinjalo.
Mhlawumbe uke wezwa ngokuphathwa kabi kwezilwane ezindaweni zokulima. Mhlawumbe usuze wawabona amanye amavidiyo ophenyweni lwethu lomshoshaphansi futhi wathuka kakhulu. Kuyayenga ukuphendula ngokuzitshela ukuthi lezi yizigameko ezingandile nezingajwayelekile futhi azenzeki ngesilinganiso.
Nokho, lokhu kungabi nabulungisa empeleni kwandile embonini yezolimo yezilwane. Nakuba ama-apula amabi ekhona, lokho kungasitha iqiniso lokuthi imodeli yebhizinisi yonke yemboni isekelwe onyameni. Futhi yonke imboni inkulu kunalokho abantu abaningi abangakucabanga.
Mhlawumbe izibalo ezimbi kunazo zonke isibalo sezilwane ezikhungweni zezolimo e-US. Ngokusho kwe-USDA, kuhlatshwa izinkomo eziyizigidi ezingu-32 minyaka yonke, kanye nezingulube eziyizigidi ezingu-127. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kuhlatshwa izinhlanzi eziyizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-3.8 nezinkukhu eziyizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-9.15. Futhi "ibhiliyoni" akuyona i-typo. Kunezinkukhu eziningi ezihlatshwa e-US kuphela unyaka ngamunye kunabantu emhlabeni.
Kunezindawo zezolimo ezingu-24,000 kuzo zonke izifundazwe zase-US, futhi zimbalwa kakhulu, uma zikhona, ezingafanelana nesithombe sethu sepulazi elincane elihle. Eqinisweni, inqwaba yezinkukhu ezifuyelwa inyama isemapulazini anezinkukhu ezingaphezu kuka-500,000. Lezo ezingakakwazi ukuthwala amakhulu ezinkulungwane izinkukhu ngayinye. Okufanayo kuya ngezinkomo nezingulube, cishe zonke zisezindaweni ezisebenza ngezimboni ezinkulu. Izikhungo ezincane, ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, zisusiwe ngoba azikwazi ukuncintisana nemisebenzi esebenza kahle kodwa enonya kakhulu.
Izinsiza eziningi kulesi sikali zanele ukuthi zikhiqize imiphumela emibi efanayo emikhulu. Ngonyaka othile, izilwane ezisezikhungweni zizokhiqiza amakhilogremu angaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-940 zomquba—okuphindwe kabili inani labantu futhi okwanele ukwenza umonakalo omkhulu emvelweni. Ukulima kwezilwane nakho kukhonjwe njengenye yezingozi eziphezulu zokuqubuka kobhubhane. Izifo ezinjengomkhuhlane wezinyoni zingasebenzisa kalula ithuba lokuvalelwa eduze kwezilwane ukuze zisakazeke futhi ziguquke ngokushesha.
Ukulima kwezilwane nakho kuthatha indawo enkulu kakhulu. Ngokusho kwe-USDA, cishe u-41% womhlaba e-US uya ekukhiqizeni imfuyo. Iphesenti likhulu ngoba ukulima kwezilwane umhlaba ukuze kufuywe izilwane, kodwa nomhlabathi ukuze kutshalwe ukudla kwezilwane. Lona umhlaba ongasetshenziselwa ukukhiqiza izitshalo ezidliwa abantu, kodwa ukuze ube khona nje, ukulima kwezilwane kufuna indawo enkulu ngokungenangqondo.
Inkukhu ngayinye, ingulube, inkomo, noma esinye isilwane esisetshenziswa uBig Ag siphila impilo efushanisiwe lapho ukuphathwa kabi kuyinsakavukela khona. Ngamunye wabo kufanele abhekane nezinhlungu nsuku zonke, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi zivela ekhejini elincane kangangokuthi zingakwazi ukuphenduka noma zibukele izingane zabo zithathwa ziyohlatshwa.
Ukulima kwezilwane ezinkulu kugxile kakhulu ohlelweni lokudla kangangokuthi ukukuqeda kunzima. Abathengi abaningi basakholelwa ukuthi ukwelashwa okunonya kuyivelakancane esikhundleni sezinga lemboni. Okuwukuphela kwendlela yokwenqaba uhlelo olulethwa i-Big Ag ukwamukela entsha esekelwe ezitshalweni namanye amaprotheni.
