Njengoba ukuphuthuma kwesimo sezulu kuba sobala kakhulu, abantu abaningi bafuna izindlela ezisebenzayo ekugcineni kwemvelo. Nakuba ukunciphisa ukusetshenziswa kwepulasitiki nokonga amanzi kungamasu avamile, indlela evame ukunganakwa kodwa enomthelela omkhulu isezinqumweni zethu zokudla zansuku zonke. Cishe zonke izilwane ezifuywayo zase-US zigcinwa emisebenzini elawulwayo yokondla izilwane (ama-CAFO), ngokuvamile eyaziwa ngokuthi amapulazi asefekthri, anokukhokhiswa okulimazayo endaweni yethu. Nokho, ukudla ngakunye kunikeza ithuba lokwenza umehluko.
I-Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's Sixth Assessment Report, ekhishwe ngoMashi 2023, igcizelele iwindi elinciphayo lokuvikela ikusasa eliphilayo futhi elisimeme, ligqamisa indima ebalulekile yesinyathelo esisheshayo. Naphezu kobufakazi obukhulayo besayensi, ezolimo zezilwane ezimbonini ziyaqhubeka nokukhula , okubhebhethekisa ukucekelwa phansi kwemvelo. Ukubalwa kwabantu kwakamuva kwe-USDA kuveza ukuthambekela okukhathazayo: ngenkathi inani lamapulazi ase-US lehlile, inani lezilwane ezifuywayo selinyukile.
Abaholi bomhlaba kumele benze izinqubomgomo ezisheshayo neziphusile zokubhekana nale nkinga, kodwa izenzo zomuntu ngamunye zibaluleke ngendlela efanayo. Ukwamukela ukudla okusekelwe ezitshalweni kungehlisa ngokuphawulekayo umkhondo wekhabhoni yomuntu, kwehlise ingcindezi olwandle oludotshwe ngokweqile, futhi kulwe nokugawulwa kwamahlathi. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ibhekana umthelela ongalingani wokufuywa kwezilwane ezinhlobonhlobo zezinto eziphilayo, njengoba kugcizelelwa umbiko we-2021 Chatham House.
Ezolimo zezilwane zinesibopho sokufika kumaphesenti angu-20 okukhishwa kwegesi ebamba ukushisa emhlabeni wonke futhi kuyimbangela ehamba phambili yokukhishwa kwe-methane e-US Ukushintshela ekudleni okusekelwe ezitshalweni kungehlisa kakhulu lokhu kukhishwa. I-United Nations ibika ukuthi ukushintshela ekudleni kwe-vegan kunganciphisa ukuqina kwekhabhoni yomuntu ngamathani angaphezu kwamabili ngonyaka, kunikeze izinzuzo ezengeziwe zezempilo ezithuthukisiwe nokonga kwezindleko.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, imithelela yezemvelo kanye nezempilo yomphakathi yamapulazi efekthri adlulela ngale kwekhabhoni. Le misebenzi inegalelo elikhulu ekufeni okuhlobene nokungcoliswa komoya futhi ikhiqize inqwaba yemfucuza engcolisa imithombo yamanzi, ethinta ngokungafanele imiphakathi ehola kancane kanye nedlanzana. Ukwengeza, ingozi yezifo ze-zoonotic, engagxuma isuka ezilwaneni iye kubantu, ikhuliswa yizimo zamapulazi asefekthri, ezibeka ezinye izinsongo zezempilo zomphakathi.
Ngokukhetha ukudla okusekelwe esitshalweni, abantu ngabanye bangathatha ukuma okunamandla ngokumelene nalezi zinselele zemvelo nempilo, okunikela ekusaseni elizinzile nelinokulingana.
Ngakho-ke Uyafuna Ukusiza Imvelo? Shintsha Ukudla Kwakho.
Cishe zonke izilwane ezifuywayo zase-US zigcinwa emisebenzini elawulwayo yokondla izilwane (CAFOs), eyaziwa ngokuthi amapulazi emboni. Lawa mapulazi ezimboni adala umonakalo omkhulu endaweni yethu—kodwa kukhona ongakwenza ngakho ngaso sonke isikhathi uma udla.
NgoNdasa wezi-2023, i-Intergovernmental Panel on Sixthth Climate Assessment Report yaxwayisa abakhi benqubomgomo , “Kunewindi elivala ngokushesha lethuba lokuvikela ikusasa eliphilayo nelisimeme sabo bonke…Izinketho nezenzo ezizosetshenziswa kuleli shumi leminyaka zizoba nomthelela manje nasezinkulungwaneni. iminyaka.”
Naphezu kobufakazi obuningi besayensi bokuthi ukulima kwezilwane ezimbonini kulimaza iplanethi yethu, ukulima kwasefekthri kuyaqhubeka kudlondlobala . Ngokusho kokubalwa kwabantu kwe-USDA yakamuva , inani lamapulazi ase-US lehlile ngenkathi inani lezilwane ezifuywayo ezweni lonke liye laphakama.
Abaholi bomhlaba kumele bathathe isinyathelo esisheshayo, esiphusile, futhi sibambisane ukubhekana nenkinga yesimo sezulu sonke esibhekene nayo. Kodwa sonke singenza ingxenye yethu njengabantu ngabanye, futhi ungaqala namuhla.
Lapho ukhetha ukudla okusekelwe esitshalweni, uzodinga:
Cishe izinhlobo ezingu-7,000 ezisengozini yokushabalala zisengozini yokushintsha kwesimo sezulu.
Umbiko -2021 we-chatham House wabiza ezolimo njengosongo kumaphesenti angama-85 ezinhlobo ezingu-28,000 ezisengozini yokushabalala ngaleso sikhathi. Namuhla, ingqikithi iye yafinyelela ku-44,000 izinhlobo ezibhekene nokuqothulwa-futhi ezicishe zibe ngu-7,000 zisengozini esheshayo yokushintsha kwesimo sezulu , okuba kubi kakhulu ukufuywa kwezilwane.
Kuyamangaza ukuthi umbiko ka-2016 owashicilelwa kuMvelo wawusuvele ubize ezolimo njengengozi enkulu kunokushintsha kwesimo sezulu cishe kumaphesenti angama-75 ezilwane ezisengozini emhlabeni, kuhlanganise nengulule yase-Afrika.
Nokho likhona ithemba. Ngokukhetha ukudla okusekelwe ezitshalweni, umuntu angasiza ekwehliseni ingcindezi olwandle lwethu oludotshwe ngokweqile, amelane nokungcola okubangelwa amafekthri amapulazi, alwe nokulahlekelwa izindawo zokuhlala zamahlathi kanye nomunye umhlaba (bheka okwengeziwe ngezansi), nokunye.
Umbiko we-Chatham House unxuse ukuthi kuguqukele emhlabeni wonke "ekudleni okusekelwe kakhulu ezitshalweni" ukuphendula "emthelela ongalingani wokufuywa kwezilwane ezinhlobonhlobo zezinto eziphilayo" kanye nokunye ukulimala kwemvelo.
Ukulima kwezilwane kukhiqiza cishe amaphesenti angama-20 wesisi esingcolisa umoya emhlabeni (GHG) futhi kuyimbangela ephezulu yokukhishwa kwe-methane yase-US —i-GHG enamandla kakhulu kune-carbon dioxide.
Ngenhlanhla, amandla okudla okusekelwe ezitshalweni okunciphisa ukungcola kuyamangaza. I-United Nations (UN) ibike ukuthi ukushintshela ekudleni kwe-vegan kunganciphisa i-carbon footprint yomuntu ngamathani angaphezu kwamabili ngonyaka. I-UN iyabhala, "Ngokutholakala kwenyama esikhundleni senyama, abapheki be-vegan nama-blogger, kanye nokunyakaza okusekelwe ezitshalweni, ukudla izitshalo eziningi kuba lula futhi kwanda kakhulu ngezinzuzo ezengeziwe zempilo engcono nokonga imali!"
Ukulima kwezilwane kuye kwaxhunyaniswa namaphesenti angu-80 wokufa kwe-15,900 e-US okuhlobene nokungcoliswa komoya okuvela ekukhiqizeni ukudla unyaka ngamunye-inhlekelele egwemekayo.
Amapulazi ezilwane ezimboni nawo akhiqiza inani elikhulu lemfucuza yezilwane. Lomquba uvame ukugcinwa “emachwebeni” avulekile angangena emanzini angaphansi komhlaba noma, phakathi neziphepho, aphuphukele emanzini. Ivamise ukugcinwa kuze kube yilapho ifuthwa njengomanyolo, ngokuvamile okuba nomthelela emiphakathini ezungezile .
Ngaphezu kwalokho, amapulazi emboni avame ukuba ezindaweni zabantu abahola kancane futhi phakathi kwemiphakathi yemibala futhi abe nomthelela ongefani kubantu abahlala kulezi zindawo. Isibonelo, izifunda ezintathu zaseNyakatho ne-Carolina izakhamuzi zazo ikakhulukazi okungabantu abamnyama, iLatine, kanye neMelika yoMdabu ziqukethe inani elikhulu lamapulazi emboni yezingulube kahulumeni-futhi i-Environmental Working Group ithole ukuthi kusukela ngo-2012 kuya ku-2019, inani lezinyoni ezifuywayo kulezi zifunda ezifanayo. inyuke ngamaphesenti angama-36.
Ukushintshela emhlabeni wonke ekudleni okusekelwe ezitshalweni kunganciphisa ukusetshenziswa komhlaba wezolimo ngamaphesenti angama-75.
Izifo ezithathelwanayo ezintathu kwezine ezivelayo zivela ezilwaneni . Naphezu kwezingozi zezempilo zomphakathi ezibangelwa amagciwane e-zoonotic (lawo angadluliselwa phakathi kwezilwane nabantu), ukulima kwasefekthri kuyaqhubeka nokukhula e-US njengoba ochwepheshe abaningi bexwayisa ngokuthi ukuvimbela ubhubhane, kufanele sibhekane nale mboni eyingozi .
Uma uthi nhlá, le nkinga ingase ibonakale ingahlobene nendawo ezungezile, kodwa ingozi yethu yokugula kwe-zoonotic iyanda ngokushintsha kwesimo sezulu okuba kubi nokucekelwa phansi kwemvelo ngenxa yokukhuphuka kwamazinga okushisa nokulahlekelwa indawo yokuhlala, okusondeza abantu nezilwane zasendle.
Ukusabalala okuqhubekayo komkhuhlane wezinyoni kuzo zonke izimboni zezinkukhu nezobisi kuyisibonelo sale ngozi. Kakade, okuhlukile okungakaze kutholakale kubantu sekuvele, futhi njengoba leli gciwane liqhubeka nokushintshashintsha futhi ibhizinisi lezolimo likhetha ukungaphenduli, umkhuhlane wezinyoni ungase ube usongo emphakathini . Ngokuphuma ekudleni imikhiqizo yezilwane, ngeke usekele uhlelo lokulima lwasefemini olusiza ukubhebhetheka kwezifo ezindaweni ezingcolile, eziminyene.
Nokunye okuningi.
Vikela iplanethi yethu

Konke kuncike kulokhu: Ukulima kwasefekthri kushayela ukuguquka kwesimo sezulu, futhi ukudla okusekelwe ezitshalweni kuyindlela ephumelela kakhulu yabantu yokuphikisa ukulimala kwakho kwemvelo.
I-Farm Sanctuary ingakusiza ukuthi uqalise. Phequlula umhlahlandlela wethu owusizo wokudla okusekelwe ezitshalweni , bese uthola izindlela eziningi zokumela izilwane neplanethi yethu lapha .
