Ukwahlukana Phakathi koKutya kunye noKutya okuKhuselekileyo

by Jennifer Chait

Ukuzinzileyo kunye neengqungquthela akuthethi into efanayo. Ngaphandle kwemida engalinganiswanga yeNkqubo yeSebe lezoLimo leSizwe le-US, iNational Organic Program (NOP), akukho mithetho eqinileyo eyenziwe ukuqinisekisa ukuba abalimi bezinto eziphilayo okanye imisebenzi yokuveliswa kokutya kwezinto eziphilayo zilandela i-Eco-minded practices.

Njengoko ilungu lemboni yendalo, kubalulekile ukuba ube neengqiqo malunga nemida ye- organic certification . Kufuneka ukwazi ukwahlula amaqiniso okutya okwenyama kwizinto ezizinzileyo zokutya ukuze ukwazi ukuthengisa iimpahla ngokunyanisekileyo nangokuphumelelayo ukufundisa abathengi bemvelo.

Nazi iintlobo ezisibhozo ezinkulu phakathi kokutya okuzinzileyo kunye nokutya okuqinisekisiwe kokutya.

01 - Uzinzileyo ayiziNgcaciso kodwa zilingana

I-USDA I-Organic eqinisekisiweyo yi-certified -sponsored sponsored certification. Ulondolozo alukho ilebula eqinisekisiweyo okanye nayiphi na inkqubo yomgaqo-nkqubo. Kunoko, abaninzi abantu bacinga ukuzinza ifilosofi echaza iiplanethi zokukhusela ezinokuthi ziqhutywe ngonaphakade, ngaphandle kokulimaza indalo.

Oku kuthethi, ngelixa ungeke ulandele ngokusemthethweni umkhiqizo wokutya ngokuthi " uzinzileyo ," ukulima okuzinzileyo akuyona nje ifilosofi. Ukuzinyameka kuyabonakala kwaye kulandelelaniswa ngokusebenzisa inzuzo yezoqoqosho, inzuzo yoluntu kuluntu kunye nolondolozo lwendalo.

02 - Ukhuseleko luncinci

Okuncinci kuhlale kuzinzileyo kunokuba kuninzi, kungakhathaliseki ukuba usebenzisa izinto oziphetheyo, ubungakanani bendlu yakho, okanye ewe, nokuba ubukhulu belizwe olifama ngalo.

Umlimi ozinzileyo unokufumana umhlaba ongaphantsi kwaye akhule izityalo ezahlukahlukeneyo ukuze ancede ukuphucula umhlaba nokugcina izibonelelo zomhlaba. Umlimi ozinzileyo unokukwazi ukuzama ukutyalwa kwezityalo okanye avumele ukuba izilwanyana zidle kwiindawo zezityalo ukuze zigcine indawo.

Umlimi osebenzayo angasebenzisa umhlaba ongaphezulu kunyanzelekile kunye nobutyebi bendalo ngenxa yokuba ubungakanani bomhlaba abuhlanganiswa nomgaqo we-NOP.

03 - Uzinzileyo ziManzi ngokufanelekileyo

Umgaqo we-NOP awudingi ukuba abalimi okanye abaqhubi bazama ukugcina izibonelelo zamanzi . Indlela yokulima kunye neendlela zokucwangcisa zizama ukugcina amanzi.

Izindlela zokulima ezizinzileyo zingabandakanya ukusetyenziswa kwamanzi okufumana izityalo ezithile, ukutyala iintlobo zezilwanyana ezibekezelayo okanye ukusebenzisa iinkqubo ezincitshisiweyo zokunkcenkceshela . Umgaqo we-NOP uthi amanzi asetyenzisiweyo angasetyenziselwa ukuhambisa izityalo.

04 - Uzinzileyo nguMandla oPheleleyo

Iifama ezininzi zanamhla (kunye neefama eziphilayo ) kunye nezityalo zokucoca ukutya zixhomekeka kakhulu kwimithombo engasebenziyo amandla, njengepetroleum.

Abalimi bokutya abazinzileyo kunye nabaprojekthi bayazi ukuba ukusetyenziswa okuqhubekayo kwamandla angenakuhlaziywa akukwazi ukuqhubeka ngonaphakade, kwaye ngoko uzama ukugcina amandla ngoku, kungekudala.

Inkqubo yokutya ezinzileyo ingathembela ngokuthe ngqo kwimithombo yamandla engafana nemoya, amandla enelanga okanye amanzi asekelwe.

05 - Uzinzileyo yi-Low Impission

Ukuba umgomo wakho kukunceda ukunciphisa ukukhutshwa komzimba, ukutya okuzinzileyo kwendawo, kungabi ukutya kokutya, kukubheja phambili kwakho. Isatifikethi se-Organic asifihla imiba efana nefuthe elisebenzisiweyo lokuvelisa ukutya okanye ukuthuthwa kokutya. Uninzi lwabalimi bezolimo kunye neenkampani zithumela iimveliso zokutya ezidlulileyo eziliwaka ukusuka eefama ukuya kwindawo yokugcina impahla ukugcina kunye nakwezinye iindawo.

Ngokufanelekileyo, ukutya okwenziweyo kwendawo yokutya okwenziwe kwendawo kukulungele impilo kunye nokukhutshwa okuphantsi. Nangona kunjalo, ngokusetyenziswa kwepetroli ezisetyenziswayo kuphela, i-organicics ayinakho ukukhuphisana nokutya okuzinzileyo okwakusakhulayo, ngaphandle kokuba kusetshenziswe amanye amafutha eenqwelo zokuthutha.

06 - Uzinzileyo nguMntu oNinzi

Umgaqo-nkqubo wezaziso ze-Organic uquka imithetho engaphelelanga ngokufikelela kwezilwanyana kwidlelo, kodwa i-USDA ayiyikugunyaza ngokusemthethweni inhlalakahle yezilwanyana kunye nenhlalakahle nge-NOP. Imfuyo ye-Organic ingachitha ixesha elininzi ekuvalelweni ngaphandle kwengcamango encinane enikezelwa kuyo yonke intlalo.

Kwinkqubo yemfuyo eqhubekayo, umlimi ubona ukuphila kakuhle kwemfuyo kwaye uya kunika indawo enkulu ngaphandle ukuze izilwanyana zibe neengcambu, zifake kwaye zizidle ngokwemvelo . Ipulazi eqhubekayo inikeza indawo ekhuselekileyo yokuhlala ngaphakathi.

Ukunyangwa kwabantu kwezilwanyana yinto nawuphi na umlimi anokukwazi ukukhetha ukuphumeza, kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo ukuqinisekiswa kwe-organic ngeke kuqinisekiswe unyango olufanelekileyo lwezilwanyana.

07 - I- Sustainable yi-Eco-Friendly Packaging

Ukutya okuzinzileyo kuthetha ukuqwalasela ipakethe yokugqibela. Ngokomzekelo, unako ukukhulela i-strawberries egciniweyo, uze uwafake kwiibhonki ezincinci ze-plastiki, uze uzifake nge-plastic shrink wrap, uze ufake yonke into kwibhokisi enkulu. Le yitani yokupakisha kwaye ayikho into eco-friendly.

Omnye umzekelo usebenzisa iglasi phezu kweplastiki. Izikhuni zePlastiki, ezenziwe ngepetroleum ezingenakuhlaziywa, zingabonakaliyo kangcono kunezixhobo zokugcoba ngeglasi.

Ukupakishwa okuzinzileyo kusebenzisa ubuncinane ubuninzi bezibonelelo eziyimfuneko. Ngokufanelekileyo, ukupakishwa okuzinzileyo kufuneka kube yi-100% kwakhona kwaye iphrintiwe ngee-inks ezinobungane. Akukho konke ukutya okuqinisekisiwe okupakanyisiweyo okupakishwa ngendlela enzileyo.

08 - Uzinzo oluqhubekayo ngaphaya kokutya

Isitifiketi se-Organic siyinto enhle, kodwa umgaqo we-NOP awugunyazisi ukuba umlimi okanye inkampani isenze ngokuzinzileyo nangokuziphatha. Ngokomzekelo, izigqibo zokulima ezixhomekeke ekuzinzileyo kufuneka zongezeleleke kwezinye iimeko, ezifana neofisi engenamaphepha, ukukhuthaza abantu ukuba basebenzise ukuhamba kweekhefu ezincinci, ukukhusela uluntu ngaphaya kwefama kunye nezimo zokusebenza ezifanelekileyo.

Ukuzinyameka okwenene kufaka ngaphezu kweenjongo ezisemgangathweni zokufama ekulawuleni kunye neenjongo ezithile kunye nokukhetha kokuphila. Umgaqo-nkqubo awukhombisi ngokubanzi kwiinkampani ezipheleleyo okanye ukugcinwa kweefama ngokupheleleyo, kodwa ukuzama ukuzinzileyo kwimiba eninzi, kungekhona nje ngokutya okukhulayo.
