Ingabe ukudla i-lacavore kuyasiza?
Nakuba kulimaza ukuhwebelana komhlaba wonke nokuthuthwa kokudla, ukudla kwe-locavore ngokuvamile kuyazuzisa emvelweni, kubalimi bendawo nakubantu. Emphakathini omncane, ukudla okudliwa abantu bendawo kwakuyofaka isandla emnothweni wendawo nasempilweni yabantu. Ukudla kwe-locavore kuwumbandela lapho abantu bekhuthazwa khona ukuba badle ukudla okukhiqizwa endaweni engamamayela angu-100 ukusuka kubo, okungazuzisi nje kuphela impilo yabo, njengoba bedla ukudla okungokwemvelo, okukhiqizwa endaweni, kodwa futhi nabalimi bendawo, ngokuthenga umkhiqizo wabo, kanye nemvelo, ngokuqeda imiphumela eyingozi yezokuthutha, njengezindiza namaloli. Ukukhathazeka okuvamile kwezizukulwane ezisencane yisimo semvelo yethu, ngenxa yokuqhubeka kokungcoliswa komoya namanzi kanye nokufudumala kwembulunga yonke. Ukudla kwe-locavore kuhloselwe lezi zinto ezibangela ukukhathazeka. Kuyi-Source A, uMaiser uphawula ukuthi ucwaningo olwenziwe kuyi-Food Policy ngo-2005 lwathola ukuthi ukuthenga ukudla okukhiqizwa endaweni kususa umonakalo wemvelo obangelwa ukuthutha ukudla okuningi. Ukudla kwe-locavore akukona nje kuphela okunobungane emvelweni kodwa futhi nakulabo balimi abakhiqiza ukudla okungokwemvelo. E-USA, ukwanda kokuthengwa kokudla kwasendaweni kuye kwabangela ukuvuselelwa kwamapulazi amancane, inani lamapulazi amancane landa ngo-20%, noma cishe amapulazi ayizigidi ezingu-1,2 eminyakeni eyisithupha nje edlule (Umthombo E). Emiphakathini emincane lapho amapulazi amancane eyimithombo eyinhloko yemikhiqizo, ukudla kwe-locavore kuzuzisa umnotho wendawo, njengoba kusetshenziswa imali eningi kubalimi nabamabhizinisi endawo. Ukwanda kwamapulazi amancane eMelika nakho kunenzuzo emnothweni kazwelonke, njengoba imali isetshenziswa ngaphakathi ezweni futhi iqhubeka ngaphakathi komnotho wethu. Naphezu kwezinzuzo zayo kubalimi bendawo, abalimi abavela emhlabeni wonke ababexhomeke ekuhwebeni nasekuthuthweni kokudla baye bahlupheka. Ngokwesibonelo, iKenya iyona ekhiqiza ubhontshisi oluhlaza omningi wase-UK, kanti nakuba ukudla okudliwa abantu bendawo kungasekela abalimi bendawo e-UK, cishe abalimi baseKenya abayizigidi ezingu-1,5 bazosongelwa. Kodwa-ke, ingxabano efanayo ingasetshenziswa kubalimi bendawo: ukungenisa ukudla okuvela emazweni anjengeKenya kunciphisa imali esetshenziswa emapulazini amancane endawo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukuqeda isidingo sokungenisa ukudla kuyinzuzo emnothweni kazwelonke, njengoba imali isetshenziselwa abalimi baseMelika, abayobe sebeyisebenzisa le mali eMelika, kunokuba isetshenziswe ngaphandle kwezwe. Mhlawumbe isici esikhanga kakhulu ekudleni kwe-locavore ukuthi kunempilo. Akukhona nje kuphela ukuthi ukudla kwasendaweni kungathinteki kalula, kodwa ukuba kude kokudla kwasendaweni kubangela ukuba kube namavithamini anamandla, amaminerali, nezinto ezilwa nezifo. Emthonjeni B, uSmith uthi ngenxa yokuthi izithelo nemifino yasendaweni zihamba amabanga amafushane, ngakho-ke cishe ziseduze nenani eliphakeme lokudla okunomsoco. Emphakathini owaziwa ngokungenampilo, cishe abantu baseMelika bayothola inzuzo ekudleni kwe-locavore ngoba kugcizelela ukubaluleka kokudla izithelo nemifino. Ukudla kwe-locavore, nakuba kunezinkinga ezithile, kunenzuzo enkulu emiphakathini emincane: kugcina amapulazi endawo esemsebenzini okuyinto evuselela umnotho wendawo nowesizwe, kunciphisa imithelela engase ibe yingozi emvelweni ngokunciphisa ukusetshenziswa kwezithuthi zomoya nezomgwaqo, futhi kuvumela inani elengeziwe lokudla okunomsoco ekudleni abantu abakudlayo. Emhlabeni wonke, ukudla kwe-locavore kungase kungasizi kangako, njengoba kungasusa isidingo sokuhweba ngokudla. Nokho, emiphakathini emincane, enobunye, ukudla okudliwa abantu bendawo kungaba okuzuzisayo.
