Kungani ukhetha ushokoledi we-vegan?
Ushokoledi omningi wenziwa ngobisi lwenkomo. Ngokuphambene nenkolelo evamile, izinkomo azigcini nje ukukhiqiza ubisi, inganekwane eqhutshwa imboni yobisi ngokwayo. Njengazo zonke ezinye izilwane ezincelisayo, kufanele ziqale zikhulelwe futhi zizale, futhi njengazo zonke ezinye izilwane ezincelisayo, ubisi ezilukhiqizayo luhloselwe ukondla ingane yazo. Kodwa-ke, embonini yobisi, izinkomo zimithiswa ngamandla, zithwala ithole lazo cishe izinyanga ezingu-9, kodwa uma sezizala, ithole lazo liyathathwa. Maningi amacala abhaliwe ezinkomo ezingumama ezijaha izimoto njengoba amankonyane azo exoshwa, noma ememeza kakhulu ebiza ingane yazo izinsuku nezinsuku. Ubisi oluhloselwe ithole luntshontshwa abantu ngokuphelele kungenasidingo.
Umjikelezo uphindaphindwa kaningi kuze kube yilapho imizimba yabo ingasakwazi ukusebenza futhi ngaleso sikhathi bathunyelwa ukuhlatshwa. Isilinganiso sokuphila kwenkomo yobisi siyiminyaka emi-4-5 nje ingxenye yeminyaka yazo yemvelo engama-20.
Ukwengeza, inani lamathole azalelwa embonini yobisi lidlula kude inani elidingwa abalimi ukuze babe 'izinkomo ezisengayo' noma 'inyamazane'. Amathole ezinsikazi abhekana nesiphetho esifanayo nesikanina noma abulawa ngemva nje kokuzalwa. Amankonyane esilisa amiselwe umkhakha 'wenyama yenkonyana' noma cishe abulawa njengensalela engadingeki.

Yize kubalulekile ukukhetha imikhiqizo engenalo unya, kubalulekile ngokulinganayo ukwenza isiqiniseko sokuthi leyo mikhiqizo ikhiqizwa ngendlela enesimilo futhi ngokuqhubekayo. Yilapho amalebula afana ne-Fairtrade, i-Rainforest Alliance, ne-UTZ eqinisekisiwe ingena khona. Kodwa asho ukuthini?
I-Rainforest Alliance yinhlangano yamazwe ngamazwe engenzi nzuzo egxile kwezamabhizinisi, ezolimo namahlathi. Ukukhetha ukuthenga imikhiqizo nge-Rainforest Alliance Certified seal kusho ukuthi usekela ukongiwa kwezinhlobonhlobo zezinto eziphilayo kanye nokwakhiwa kwezindlela zokuziphilisa ezisimeme ngokuguqula izindlela zokulima nezamabhizinisi.

Ubisi kanye nokushintsha kwesimo sezulu
Imboni yobisi inomthelela omkhulu enkingeni yesimo sezulu esibhekene nayo. Inkomo eyodwa ikhiqiza phakathi kwamakhilogremu angu-154 kuya kwangu-264 egesi ye-methane ngonyaka noma amalitha angama-250-500 ngosuku! Ngokusho kweZizwe Ezihlangene, ukulima kwezilwane kukhiqiza ingxenye yesithathu ye-methane ekhishwa umuntu. UDurwood Zaelke, ongumbuyekezi oholayo we -IPCC ukuhlolwa kwesithupha uthe ukuncishiswa kwe-methane cishe ukuphela kwendlela yokuvimbela ukunyuka kwezinga lokushisa ngo-1.5ºC ngaphezu kwamazinga angaphambi kwezimboni, ngaphandle kwalokho isimo sezulu esibi sizokwenyuka futhi izindawo ezimbalwa zokuthi iplanethi , lapho ingekho khona. buya. I-Methane inamandla okufudumala aphindwe izikhathi ezingu-84 kune-carbon dioxide esikhathini seminyaka engu-20, ngakho-ke kubalulekile ukuthi ukukhishwa kwe-methane kwehle kakhulu. Ukuqeda ukulima kwezilwane kuzohamba ibanga elide ekunciphiseni ukukhishwa kwegesi kukonke. Ukwengeza, ukukhiqizwa kobisi kusebenzisa umhlabathi ophindwe kashumi , aphindwe kabili kuya kwamashumi amabili (inkomo ngayinye embonini yobisi idla amalitha angama-50 amanzi nsuku zonke), futhi kudala amazinga aphezulu kakhulu e-eutrophication.
