Yini Eyenza Ukudla "I-Organic"?
"I-Organic" isho ngokuqondile kunoma yiluphi ulwazi olusekelwe ku-carbon. Lokho kusho ukuthi ukuphakama kokudla okulandela umzimba kulandela imithethonqubo enqunyiwe ehlukene ngezindlela eziningi ezivela kwezolimo ezimboni.
Amapulazi kuphela asebenza ngenqubo yokuqinisekisa yezwe lawo noma izwe angakwazi ukubeka uphawu lokudla kwawo. Inqubo iyabiza. Kunamapulazi amancane alandela imikhuba yokulima eqhubekayo ekhetha ukunikeza isitifiketi noma ngabe imikhuba yabo ihlangabezana noma idlula lokho okudingekayo.
Izindinganiso ze-organic ziyahlukahluka ezweni lonke, kodwa ukudla okubhalwe ngokuthi i-organic e-United States kumele kuphakanyiswe ngokulandela imihlahlandlela ethile, kufaka phakathi:
- Akukho ukusetshenziswa kwamakhemikhali wokwenziwa
- Akukho ukusetshenziswa kwe-irradiation
- Akukho ukusetshenziswa kwe-sludge yokuthuthwa kwamanzi (yep, kusetshenziselwa kwezinye ezolimo)
- Azikho izinto eziphilayo eziguquguqukayo (GMOs)
- Ukukhuliswa epulazini okungenakho okungenhla okungenhla okungenani iminyaka emithathu *
- Amarekhodi aphelele wemikhuba esetshenzisiwe, kuhlanganise nokusetshenziswa kwezinto ezivunyelwe, izipuni eziphilayo noma ezinye izinhlobo zohlelo lokusebenza
- Ukuhlola okuqhubekayo kwendawo
- I-USDA-isitifikedi sokudla inyama ephikisana nokusetshenziswa kwamahomoni okukhula, ama-antibiotics, okuphakelayo okwenziwa ngezakhi zofuzo, noma imikhiqizo yezilwane ekukhuliseni imfuyo
- Amaqanda e-Organic adingeka ukuthi avele ezinkukhu zombili ezingenazinkokhelo kanye nobubanzi obukhululekile
- Ukudla okungokwemvelo kufanele kugcinwe okuhlukile kokudla okungewona okwenyama okubili kuphakanyiswa ezweni elifanayo noma kusetshenziswe endaweni efanayo
E-United States, ukuze abakhiqizi babhale ukudla okusetshenzisiwe "okuphilayo" kufanele kube nezithako eziyizikhukhula ezingu-95%; bangasebenzisa ilebula "iqukethe izithako eziphilayo" uma nje izithako ezingu-70% ziqinisekisiwe eziphilayo.
Ukuze uthole olunye ulwazi, bheka ukuthi uMnyango Wezolimo wase-United States uthini.
Qaphela ukuthi abanye bathi (ngibheke wena, Oregon!) Namazwe amaningi anamazinga anzima kunalokhu okubhaliswa okuqinisekisiwe okubhaliwe, ikakhulukazi, izindinganiso eziningi zidinga umhlaba ukuba ukhululeke ekuchasweni kwamakhemikhali ezakhiwe kanye nezinye izinto ezivinjelwe iminyaka emihlanu esikhundleni sezintathu.
Kungani Ufuna i-Organic?
Ukudla okuphakanyisiwe emva kwezindinganiso eziphilayo kanye nokufaka ilebuli ephilayo, kaningi kunalokho, kubiza okungaphezu kokudla okuphakanyiswe ngokusebenzisa izindlela ezimbonini. Ngakho kungani ukhokha ngaphezulu?
Abantu abaningi bayophendula ngempilo yabo, bagweme ukubeka amakhemikhali (ngendlela yezidakamizwa zokubulala izibulala-zinambuzane) emizimbeni yabo. Futhi akusona isizathu esibi nhlobo.
Iningi lemvelo likhuthaza, noma kunjalo, lizoveza izinkinga ezinkulu. Imipula engcolile, imvelo engcolile ngokujwayelekile, impilo yabalimi kanye nabasebenzi bepulazi, kanye nesimiso sokudla okunamandla nokuhluka kwazo zonke izizathu zokucabangela ukufuna ukudla okuqinisekisiwe okuphilayo.
* Lelikhathi lesithathu leminyaka phakathi kwepulazi kufanele liqale ukulandela imikhuba ebiza kakhulu futhi uma ingavuna inzuzo yokubiza ngokuthi "ukudla" okuvela ekugcineni kuyisinye sezikhubekiso epulazini elithile eliguqula ngokugcwele kwimikhuba yezinto eziphilayo.
