Zakudya Zamagulu

"Organic" imatanthawuzira mwachinthu chilichonse chomwe chiri ndi carbon. Izi zinati, adalitse chakudya chotsatira ndondomeko ya malamulo omwe amasiyanasiyana m'njira zosiyanasiyana kuchokera ku ulimi wamakampani.

Masamu okha omwe amapita kudziko lawo kapena dziko lawo akhoza kutchula zakudya zawo. Njirayi ndi yokwera mtengo. Pali minda yaing'ono yomwe imatsatira njira zowonjezera zaulimi zimasankha kusiya zovomerezeka ngakhale kuti zochitika zawo zimakwaniritsa kapena kupitirira zomwe zikufunika.

Miyezo yowonongeka ya thupi imasiyana m'mayiko osiyanasiyana, koma chakudya chomwe chimatchedwa organic ku United States chiyenera kukwezedwa motsogoleredwa ndi:

• Palibe ntchito yamagetsi
• Palibe kugwiritsa ntchito mankhwala
• Palibe ntchito yogwiritsira ntchito sludge (yep, imagwiritsidwa ntchito mu ulimi wina)
• Palibe zamoyo zosinthidwa zamoyo (GMOs)
• Anakulira pa minda yomwe yakhala yopanda zomwe zili pamwambazi kwa zaka zitatu
• Mndandanda wa machitidwe omwe amagwiritsidwa ntchito, kuphatikizapo kugwiritsa ntchito zololedwa, zopopera mankhwala kapena mitundu ina yothandizira
• Kufufuza malo pafupipafupi
• USDA-chidziwitso cha nyama yodyera imaletsa kugwiritsa ntchito mahomoni okula, maantibayotiki, chakudya chamasinthidwe, kapena zinyama zoweta ziweto
• Mazira oyenera amayenera kubwera kuchokera ku nkhuku zomwe zonsezi sizitsuka
• Chakudya chamagulu chiyenera kukhala chosiyana ndi zakudya zopanda zakudya zomwe zimaperekedwa kudziko lomwelo kapena kukonzedwa kumalo omwewo

Ku United States, kuti alimi azilemba zakudya zokonzedwanso "organic" ayenera kukhala ndi zowonjezera 95%; iwo akhoza kugwiritsa ntchito chizindikirocho "chiri ndi zinthu zopangidwa ndi organic" malinga ngati makumi asanu ndi awiri mwazo zowonjezera ndizovomerezedwa ndi organic.

Kuti mumve zambiri, onani zomwe Dipatimenti ya Ulimi ku United States ikunena.

Dziwani kuti ena akunena (Ndikukuyang'anirani, Oregon!) Ndipo mayiko ambiri ali ndi miyezo yowonjezera kuposa izi pazolemba zawo zovomerezeka, makamaka, miyezo yambiri imafuna kuti malo asamasulidwe ku mankhwala ndi zinthu zina zoletsedwa kwa zaka zisanu mmalo mwa atatu.

Nchifukwa Chiyani Tiyenera Kufuna Organic?

Chakudya chokwera pambuyo pa miyezo ya organic ndi kuikapo mankhwala, nthawi zambiri, sichitha mtengo woposa chakudya chogwiritsidwa ntchito pogwiritsa ntchito mafakitale. Ndiye bwanji mukulipira zambiri?

Anthu ambiri adzayankha chifukwa cha thanzi lawo, kupeŵa kuika mankhwala (monga mawonekedwe a mankhwala ophera tizilombo) m'matupi awo. Ndipo icho si chifukwa cholakwika nkomwe.

Zambiri zamoyo zimalimbikitsa, komabe, zidzakumbutsa nkhani zazikuru. Mlimi wathanzi, malo ochepa poizoni, alimi ndi alimi ogwira ntchito zaulimi, komanso zakudya zowonjezereka komanso zosiyana ndi zifukwa zonse zoyenera kuganizira zofuna zakudya zomwe zimatsimikiziridwa ndi zakudya.

Nthawi imeneyi ya zaka zitatu yomwe famu iyenera kuyamba kutsatira njira zamtengo wapatali komanso pamene idzapeza phindu lolemba kuti "organic" chakudya ndi chimodzi mwa zopunthwitsa kuti famu ina ikhale yosinthika.
