Sanibonani bafundi!
Sekuyisikhathi sokuthi sihoxise ikhethini futhi sikhanyise ngesihloko esiyimpikiswano esivame ukunganakwa - uhlangothi olumnyama lokukhiqizwa kwenyama kanye nomthelela wayo oyinhlekelele endaweni yethu. Kusukela ekugawulweni kwamahlathi nokungcoliswa kwamanzi kuya ekukhishweni kwesisi esibamba ukushisa kanye nokumelana nemithi elwa namagciwane, imiphumela yokunganeliseki kwethu kwenyama ifinyelela kude futhi iyethusa. Namuhla, njengengxenye yochungechunge lwethu oluthi “Curated”, sihlolisisa izindleko ezifihliwe zokukhiqiza inyama futhi sihlole ukuthi ziyiqaqa kanjani kancane kancane indwangu entekenteke yeplanethi yethu.
I-Ecological Toll of Livestock Farming
Phakathi kwamasimu abanzi kanye nezindawo ezinhle, kukhona iqiniso elibhubhisayo. Ukukhiqizwa kwenyama ngobuningi kuhilela ukucekelwa phansi kwezindawo ezinkulu zamahlathi ukuze kuvuleke indawo yokukhiqiza nokudla kwezilwane. Izilwane ezingenakubalwa ziye zasuswa, izindawo ezihlala kuzo ziphazamisekile, nesimiso sezinto eziphilayo sashintshwa unomphela. Ukugawulwa kwamahlathi okubangelwa ukukhiqizwa kwenyama akugcini nje ngokusongela izinhlobonhlobo zezinto eziphilayo kodwa futhi kukhulisa ukushintsha kwesimo sezulu, njengoba izihlahla zidlala indima ebalulekile ekubambeni isikhutha (CO2).
Ngaphezu kwalokho, inani elincane lomhlaba namanzi adingekayo ukusekela ukufuywa liyamangalisa. Umhlaba olimekayo uyadliwa ukuze kutshalwe izitshalo zokudla kwezilwane, okushiya indawo encane yokulima okusimeme noma ezinye izinjongo ezibalulekile. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukusetshenziswa kwamanzi ngokweqile ekukhiqizeni inyama kwandisa ukushoda kwamanzi, inkinga ecindezelayo ezingxenyeni eziningi zomhlaba. Kudingeka sikhumbule ukuthi ukukhiqiza ikhilogremu elilodwa lenyama kudinga amanzi amaningi kakhulu uma kuqhathaniswa nenani elifanayo leprotheyini esekelwe ezitshalweni.
Ngeshwa, ukucekelwa phansi akugcini lapha. Umthamo omkhulu wemfucuza yezilwane okhiqizwa ukulima ngokujulile ubeka izingozi ezinkulu zemvelo. Amachibi ama-Cesspool namachibi omquba, agcwaliswe phezulu ngemfucuza yezilwane engakalungiswa, akhulula izinto eziyingozi kanye namagciwane enhlabathini nasezindaweni zamanzi ezizungezile. Umphumela? Imifula engcolile, amanzi angaphansi komhlaba angcolile, kanye nemiphumela elimazayo ezintweni eziphila emanzini.
Ukushintsha Kwesimo Sezulu kanye Nokukhishwa Kwegesi Ebamba Ukushisa
Ukukhiqizwa kwenyama, okubizwa ngokuthi enye yezinto ezinomthelela omkhulu ekushintsheni kwesimo sezulu, akunakushaywa indiva lapho kuxoxwa ngezinto ezithinta imvelo. Imfuyo, ikakhulukazi izinkomo, inesandla ekukhiqizweni kwegesi ye-methane. Njengenye yamagesi abamba ukushisa anamandla kakhulu, i-methane ibamba ukushisa emkhathini ngendlela ephumelela kakhulu kune-carbon dioxide (CO2). Ukuzalaniswa okuqinisiwe kanye nokudla ngokweqile kwemfuyo kunomthelela ekwenyukeni kwamazinga e-methane, okuqhubekisela phambili ukufudumala kwembulunga yonke.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukuhlola i-carbon footprint yayo yonke imboni yokukhiqiza inyama kuveza isithombe esingesihle. Kusukela ekugawulweni komhlaba ukuze kuvuleke indawo yemfuyo, kuye kwezokuthutha nokucubungula amandla kagesi, zonke izinyathelo ochungechungeni lokuhlinzekwa kwenyama zikhipha amanani amakhulu e-CO2. Ngisho noma kucutshungulwa izinto ezifana nesiqandisi, ukupakishwa, kanye nokumosha ukudla, umthelela oqoqiwe wokukhiqizwa kwenyama uyamangalisa.
Ukumelana Nama-antibiotic kanye Nempilo Yomuntu
Nakuba ukucekelwa phansi kwemvelo yethu kuyimbangela eyanele yokukhathazeka, imiphumela yokukhiqizwa kwenyama idlulela ngale kwemvelo. Ukusetshenziswa ngokweqile kwama-antibiotic embonini kubangela usongo olukhulu empilweni yomuntu. Emzamweni wokuvimbela izifo nokukhuthaza ukukhula, ukufuywa kwemfuyo kuncike kakhulu ekusetshenzisweni kwe-prophylactic ye-antibiotics. Lokhu kudlangile ukusetshenziswa kwama-antibiotic ezilwaneni kuholela ekuveleni kwamagciwane amelana nama-antibiotic, okwenza kube nzima ukwelapha izifo ezilwaneni nakubantu ngempumelelo.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, imikhuba yokulima yasefekthri eqinisiwe ekhona embonini yenyama yakha izindawo zokuzalanisa eziphelele zezifo ze-zoonotic - izifo ezingadluliswa zisuka ezilwaneni ziye kubantu. Izindawo eziseduze, izimo ezingahlanzekile, nokucindezeleka okutholwa izilwane zasemapulazini kwandisa ingozi yokuqubuka kwezifo. Izigameko ezifana nomkhuhlane wezingulube kanye nomkhuhlane wezinyoni zisebenza njengezikhumbuzo ezishaqisayo zokuhlobana phakathi kwempilo yezilwane, indawo ezungezile, kanye nenani labantu.
Isicelo Sokushintsha
Isikhathi soshintsho manje. Kubalulekile ukuthi siqaphele izindleko ezifihliwe zokukhiqiza inyama futhi sivume iqhaza lethu ekuqhubekiseni phambili kwayo. Kunezinyathelo esingazithatha ukuze senze umthelela omuhle:
- Yehlisa ukusetshenziswa kwenyama: Ngokuhlanganisa ukudla okuningi okusekelwe ezitshalweni ekudleni kwethu, singanciphisa ngokuphawulekayo isidingo senyama futhi ngenxa yalokho sinciphise ukukhiqizwa kwayo.
- Sekela izindlela zokulima ezisimeme: Ukukhetha inyama emithonjeni ebeka phambili ukusimama kwemvelo kanye nenhlalakahle yezilwane kungakhuthaza izindlela zokukhiqiza ezinomthwalo wemfanelo.
- Hlola ezinye izindlela ezisekelwe ezitshalweni: Ukukhula kwemboni yemifino nemifino kunikeza inqwaba yezinketho kulabo abafuna ukushintsha kude nenyama.
Khumbula, isenzo esihlangene sibalulekile. Ukwabelana ngolwazi, ukuzibandakanya ezingxoxweni, kanye nokumela ushintsho kungaba nomthelela omubi, kuholele ekushintsheni ekukhetheni ukudla okuzinzile nokunozwelo.
Masisukume sivikele imvelo yethu, ngenzela izizukulwane ezizayo. Ngokudalula uhlangothi olumnyama lokukhiqizwa kwenyama, singavula indlela yekusasa eliqhakazile, eliluhlaza, nelinobunye.
