Ocwaningweni lwase-UK, i-BBC ithole ukuthi, ngokwesilinganiso, iBrits engaphansi ko-1 kwabayi-10 bazi lapho imifino nezithelo ezidume kakhulu kusesikhathini sonyaka. Kulezi zinsuku, sekunezitolo ezinkulu ezimbalwa ezisinikeza ithuba lokufinyelela unyaka wonke emikhiqizweni eminingi kangangokuthi asicabangi nokuthi ikhule kanjani bese iphelela emashalofini ezitolo.
Kubantu baseBrithani abangu-2000 abahlolwa, bangama-5% kuphela abakwazi ukubona ukuthi amajikijolo amnyama avuthiwe futhi anejusi. Bangu-4% kuphela abaqagele ukuthi isizini yeplum iza nini. Futhi umuntu oyedwa kwabayi-1 kuphela ongakwazi ukusho ngokunembile isizini yama-gooseberry. Futhi konke lokhu phezu kokuthi u-10% wabathengi uthi ukholelwa ekubalulekeni kwezikhathi zonyaka, kanti u-86% uthi uthenga imikhiqizo ngezikhathi zabo zonyaka.
Phakathi kwazo zonke izinkinga zethu zokudla—ukukhuluphala ngokweqile, inani elilokhu likhula njalo lokudla okuphekiwe, ukungabaza kwethu ukupheka—ingabe kufanele ngempela sikhathazeke ngokuthi abantu abazi ukuthi ukudla okuthile kusesikhathini?
U-Jack Adair Bevan uqhuba indawo yokudlela yama-Ethicurea e-Bristol, okuthi, ngokusemandleni akho, asebenzise umkhiqizo wesizini kuphela ovela engadini. Naphezu kwale ndlela etusekayo, uJack akacabangi ukugxeka labo abangenjalo ngokugeleza kwemvelo. “Sinakho konke ezandleni zethu, engadini yethu, futhi singakwazi ukulandelela izinkathi zonyaka ngaphandle kwezinkinga. Kodwa ngiyaqonda ukuthi ngeke kube lula kumuntu ongenangadi. Futhi uma yonke into edingwa abantu itholakala ezitolo unyaka wonke, yebo, kunzima ukukwenqaba.”
U-Tan Prince, umbhali we-Perfect Nature Reserves, uyavuma. “Ukuthenga igilosa ngesizini kuphela akuwona umsebenzi olula. Kodwa-ke, imikhiqizo inewashi lemvelo eliyenza inambitheke kakhudlwana ngenkathi yonyaka.”
Yiqiniso, ikhwalithi yokunambitheka iphakathi kwezizathu zokuqala ohlwini ukuthi kungani kufanelekile ukuthenga imikhiqizo ngenkathi. Bambalwa abantu abazojabula ngotamatisi ophaphathekile kaJanuwari noma ama-strawberries amasha etafuleni likaKhisimusi.
Kodwa-ke, izimpikiswano zomkhiqizo wesizini zidlula ukunambitheka. Ngokwesibonelo, umlimi waseBrithani nomsunguli we-Riverford, inkampani yamabhokisi epulazi nemifino, wathi lapho exoxa: “Ngingumsekeli wokudla kwendawo ngokwengxenye ngenxa yezizathu zemvelo, kodwa ikakhulukazi ngoba ngicabanga ukuthi kubalulekile ukuba abantu bazizwe bexhumene nakho. lapho livela khona. ukudla kwabo.”
Ungakwazi ukufanisa imikhiqizo yesizini neyendawo, kodwa akuwona wonke umuntu ongumpikiswano oqinile ovuna ukuthenga kwesizini. Abanye abasekeli bomkhiqizo wesizini basebenzisa amagama anjengokuthi “ukuvumelana.” Kungumbono omuhle, kodwa kubuthakathaka njenge-strawberry yasebusika.
Kodwa izimpikiswano zezomnotho zicacile. Umthetho wokuhlinzeka nokufunwa uthi ukuchichima kwama-strawberries ngoJuni kwenza umkhiqizo ushibhile kunangesikhathi esingekho.
Impikiswano encane ekholisayo, mhlawumbe, iyisidingo nje sokusekela abakhiqizi bendawo.
Ekugcineni, noma ngabe udla phakathi nesizini noma ngaphandle kwesizini akuyona into okufanele ukhathazeke ngayo kwasekuqaleni. Nakuba, yiqiniso, ukunakekelwa ngokucophelela kulolu daba kunezinzuzo zako!
