UGreenfield ungumMelika osechithe ingxenye enkulu yempilo yakhe yeminyaka engama-32 ekhuthaza izindaba ezibalulekile ezinjengokunciphisa udoti wokudla kanye nezinto zokugaywa kabusha.
Okokuqala, uGreenfield uthole ukuthi yiziphi izinhlobo zezitshalo ezenze kahle eFlorida ngokukhuluma nabalimi bendawo, ngokuvakashela amapaki omphakathi, ukuya emakilasini anezihloko, ukubukela amavidiyo e-YouTube, nokufunda izincwadi mayelana nezitshalo zasendaweni.
“Ekuqaleni, ngangingazi ukuthi ngingatshala kanjani noma yini kule ndawo, kodwa ezinyangeni ezingu-10 kamuva ngaqala ukutshala nokuvuna u-100% wokudla kwami,” kusho uGreenfield. "Ngisanda kusebenzisa ulwazi lwendawo oseluvele lukhona."
UGreenfield wabe esethola indawo yokuhlala, njengoba empeleni engeyena umnikazi wendawo eFlorida - futhi akafuni. Ngenkundla yezokuxhumana, wafinyelela kubantu base-Orlando ukuthola umuntu onentshisekelo yokumvumela ukuthi akhe indlu encane endaweni yakhe. U-Lisa Ray, uchwepheshe wezitshalo othanda ukulima, uzinikele ngokuzithandela ukuze athole indawo egcekeni lakwakhe, lapho uGreenfield akhe khona indlu yakhe encane, engamamitha-skwele ayi-9.
Ngaphakathi kwesikhala esincane esiphakathi kwe-futon nedeski elincane lokubhala, amashalofu asuka phansi kuya ophahleni agcwele izinhlobonhlobo zokudla okuvutshelwe ekhaya (umango, ubhanana nama-apula cider vinegars, iwayini lezinyosi, njll.), izinongo, izimbiza zoju. (evunwa ezidlekeni zezinyosi, ngemuva kwalokho iGreenfield ngokwakhe inakekela), usawoti (obilisiwe emanzini olwandle), amakhambi omisiwe futhi agcinwe ngokucophelela neminye imikhiqizo. Kunefriji encane ekhoneni eligcwele upelepele, umango, nezinye izithelo nemifino okuvunwe engadini yakhe nasezindaweni ezizungezile.
Ikhishi elincane elingaphandle lifakwe isisefo samanzi kanye nensiza efana nesitofu sekamu (kodwa inikwa amandla yi-biogas eyenziwe ngemfucumfucu yokudla), kanye nemiphongolo yokuqoqa amanzi emvula. Kukhona indlu yangasese elula yokwenza umquba eduze kwendlu kanye neshawa yamanzi emvula ehlukile.
“Engikwenzayo kuhle kakhulu, futhi inhloso yami wukuvusa abantu,” kusho uGreenfield. “I-US ino-5% wabantu emhlabeni futhi isebenzisa u-25% wengcebo yomhlaba. Njengoba ngihamba eBolivia nasePeru, ngiye ngakhuluma nabantu lapho i-quinoa yayiwumthombo wokudla oyinhloko. Kodwa amanani enyuke izikhathi ezingu-15 ngenxa yokuthi abantu baseNtshonalanga nabo bafuna ukudla i-quinoa, futhi manje abantu bendawo abanayo imali yokuyithenga.”
"Abalaleli engiqondiswe kubo ngephrojekthi yami yiqembu elikhethekile labantu elithinta kabi izimpilo zamanye amaqembu omphakathi, njengasendabeni yesitshalo se-quinoa, esingafinyeleleki kubantu baseBolivia nasePeru," kusho uGreenfield, oziqhenyayo eqhutshwa yimali. Eqinisweni, iholo likaGreenfield liphelele lalingama- $ 5000 ngonyaka odlule.
“Uma umuntu enesihlahla sezithelo phambi kwegceke lakhe bese ngibona isithelo siwela phansi, ngihlale ngicela kubanikazi baso imvume yokusikha,” kusho uGreenfield, ozama ukungephuli imithetho, njalo ethola imvume yokuqoqa ukudla. impahla yangasese. "Futhi isikhathi esiningi angivunyelwe nje ukukwenza, kodwa ngize ngibuze - ikakhulukazi umango eSouth Florida ehlobo."
UGreenfield ubuye adle ukudla kwezinye izindawo ezingomakhelwane nasemapaki e-Orlando uqobo, nakuba azi ukuthi lokhu kungase kungqubuzane nemithetho yedolobha. “Kodwa mina ngilandela imithetho yoMhlaba, hhayi imithetho yedolobha,” usho kanje. UGreenfield uqinisekile ukuthi uma wonke umuntu ethatha isinqumo sokuphatha ukudla ngendlela aphatha ngayo, umhlaba ubuzosimama kakhulu futhi ube nobulungisa.
Ngenkathi uGreenfield evame ukuchuma ngokufuna ukudla emfucumfucwini, manje usephila ngemikhiqizo emisha kuphela, evunwayo noma etshalwa yedwa. Akakusebenzisi ukudla osekupakishiwe, ngakho uGreenfield uchitha isikhathi sakhe esiningi elungisa, epheka, ekubilisa, noma ekuqandisa ukudla.
Indlela yokuphila yaseGreenfield iyisivivinyo sokuthi kungenzeka yini ukuphila impilo eqhubekayo esikhathini lapho uhlelo lokudla emhlabeni wonke selushintshe indlela esicabanga ngayo ngokudla. Ngisho noGreenfield ngokwakhe, owathi ngaphambi kwalo msebenzi wayethembele ezitolo zegrosa zasendaweni nasezimakethe zabalimi, akanaso isiqiniseko somphumela.
“Ngaphambi kwalo msebenzi, ibingekho into efana nokuthi ngidle ukudla okulinywe kuphela noma okuvuniwe okungenani usuku olulodwa,” kusho uGreenfield. “Sekuphele izinsuku eziyi-100 futhi ngiyazi kakade ukuthi le mpilo iyashintsha – manje sengiyakwazi ukulima futhi ngidle ukudla futhi ngiyazi ukuthi ngingakuthola ukudla noma ngabe ngikuphi.”
UGreenfield uthemba ukuthi iphrojekthi yakhe izosiza ukukhuthaza umphakathi ukuthi udle imvelo, unakekele impilo yabo kanye neplanethi, futhi ulwele inkululeko.
