Ubhubhane lwezinambuzane… ihhovisi lami ligcwele zona. Ngizicwilise kumasampula emikhiqizo eyahlukene eyenziwe ngekhilikithi: ama-crackers wekhilikithi, ama-tortilla chips, ama-protein bars, ngisho nofulawa owenziwe yonke into, okuthiwa une-nutty flavour elungele isinkwa sikabhanana. Nginelukuluku lokwazi futhi ngiyayinqaba, kodwa ngaphezu kwakho konke ngifuna ukwazi lokhu: Ingabe izinambuzane ekudleni ziyimfashini edlulayo emazweni aseNtshonalanga, ukuvuma ngekhanda okungathandeki kubantu bakudala ababedla izinambuzane amakhulu eminyaka? Noma ingabe ingaba yingxenye yolwanga lwaseMelika njengoba yayinjalo i-sushi ngawo-1970? Nganquma ukuphenya.
Izinambuzane zingena kanjani ekudleni kwethu? Nakuba izinambuzane ezidliwayo zivamile e-Asia, e-Afrika naseLatin America, kwaze kwaba ngoMeyi odlule lapho amazwe aseNtshonalanga (futhi, yiqiniso, inqwaba yeziqalo) aqala ukuwathatha ngokungathi sína. Khona-ke, i-Food and Agriculture Organization yeZizwe Ezihlangene yakhipha umbiko othi ngo-2050, njengoba ukwanda kwenani labantu, umhlaba kuyodingeka wondle abantu abengeziwe abayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezimbili. Isixazululo esisodwa: ukudla izinambuzane ezinothe kakhulu ngamaprotheni, ezingaba nomthelela omkhulu emvelweni uma zingaba ingxenye yokudla okuyisisekelo emhlabeni. Amakhilikithi akhipha amagesi abamba ukushisa angaphansi ngokuphindwe izikhathi eziyikhulu kunezinkomo, futhi kuthatha ilitha elilodwa lamanzi namakhilogremu angu-2 wokuphakela ukukhulisa ikhilogremu elilodwa, uma kuqhathaniswa namalitha angu-2,000 amanzi kanye namaphawundi angu-25 okudla ukuze kukhushulwe iphawundi lenyama yenkomo.
Ukudla okushibhile kupholile. Kodwa uzenza kanjani izinambuzane zandile eMelika, lapho kungenzeka kakhulu sizifuthele ngoshevu kunokuthosa epanini lokuthosa? Yilapho iziqalo zobuciko ziqala khona. Ngasekuqaleni kwalo nyaka, owesifazane ogama lakhe lingu-Megan Miller wasungula i-Bitty Foods e-San Francisco, ethengisa amakhukhi angenazo okusanhlamvu enziwe ngofulawa wekhilikithi ngezinambitheka ezihlanganisa ujinja owolintshi nekhadiamom likashokoledi. Uthi amakhukhi "angumkhiqizo wesango," okusho ukuthi ifomu lawo elimnandi lingasiza ekufihleni ukuthi udla izinambuzane (futhi isango liyasebenza, ngoba bengiwadla kusukela ngiqala ukubhala lokhu okuthunyelwe, ikhukhi lami lesithathu. ). “Okubalulekile wukuguqula amakhilikithi abe yinto ejwayelekile,” kusho uMiller. Ngakho siyawosa kancane bese siwagaya abe impushana ongayengeza cishe kunoma yini.”
Ukujwayela kubonakala kuyigama eliyisihluthulelo. USusie Badaracco, umongameli wenkampani ebikezela ukudla okujwayele ukubikezela i-Culinary Tides, ubikezela ukuthi ibhizinisi lezinambuzane ezidliwayo lizokhula nakanjani, kodwa ukukhula okungenzeka kakhulu kuzovela emikhiqizweni yokudla kwezinambuzane njengama-protein, ama-chips, amakhekhe nokusanhlamvu—ukudla okutholakala kuzo. izingxenye zomzimba zalesi sinambuzane azibonakali. Isikhathi silungile, i-Badaracco yanezela, njengoba abathengi base-US beba nentshisekelo eyengeziwe ekuqhubekeni nokudla, ikakhulukazi uma kuziwa ekudleni okunamaprotheni amaningi. Ubonakala eqinisile. Ngokushesha ngemva kokuba ngikhulume ne-Badalacco, i-JetBlue yamemezela ukuthi izohlinzeka ngamabha amaprotheni e-Exo enziwe ngofulawa wekhilikithi kubagibeli abahamba ngendiza esuka e-JFK eya e-Los Angeles kusukela ngo-2015. Khona-ke futhi, ukusetshenziswa kwezinambuzane akunazo izimpande zomlando e-United States, ngakho-ke indlela ende okufanele ihanjwe ngaphambi kokuthi ingene ngokujulile emhlabeni wokudayisa nezindawo zokudlela.
Okuwukuphela kwezindawo esingathola kuzo izinti zekhilikithi kusezimakethe ezisesitayeleni naku-Whole Foods. Ingabe lokho kuzoshintsha? Ukuthengiswa kwe-Bitty Foods kukhuphuka kakhulu, kuphindeka kathathu emasontweni amathathu edlule ngemva kokubuyekezwa kwe-rave. Futhi, umpheki osaziwayo uTyler Florence ujoyine inkampani njengomqondisi wezokupheka ukusiza ukuthuthukisa "umugqa wemikhiqizo ezothengiswa ngqo ezweni lonke ungakapheli unyaka," kusho uMiller. Akakwazanga ukuphawula ngemikhiqizo ethile, kodwa uthe izinto ezifana nesinkwa ne-pasta zinamandla. “Okujwayelekile ukuthi ibhomu le-carb lingaguqulwa libe into enomsoco ngempela,” uyaphawula. Kubantu abaqaphela impilo, izimbungulu zikulungele ngempela: Ikhilikithi ezomile zinamaprotheni angamaphesenti angu-60 kuya kwangu-70 (inkomishi yenkomishi, okulingana nenyama yenkomo), futhi aqukethe ama-omega-3 fatty acids, amavithamini B, okusansimbi, ne-calcium.
Konke lokhu kukhula okungenzeka kubangele umbuzo: Zivelaphi ngempela lezi zinambuzane? Abekho abahlinzeki abanele ukuhlangabezana nesidingo njengamanje - cishe amapulazi amahlanu kuphela eNyakatho Melika akhiqiza izinambuzane ezisezingeni lokudla - okusho ukuthi imikhiqizo esekelwe ezinambuzaneni izohlala ibiza. Ukuze uthole ireferensi, isikhwama sikafulawa wokubhaka esivela ku-Bitty Foods sibiza u-$20. Kodwa isithakazelo ekufuyweni kwezinambuzane siyakhula, futhi ngenxa yezinkampani ze-agtech ezifana ne-Tiny Farms, abantu manje banokusekelwa ukuze baqalise. “Ngithola ama-imeyili cishe nsuku zonke avela kubantu abafuna ukungena ekulimeni,” kusho uDaniel Imrie-Situnayake, oyisikhulu esiphezulu seTiny Farms, inkampani yakhe eyenza imodeli yepulazi lezinambuzane lesimanje, eliphumelelayo. Umgomo: ukwakha inethiwekhi yamapulazi anjalo, ukuthenga izinambuzane, ukuqinisekisa ikhwalithi yazo, bese uzithengisela abalimi. “Ngohlelo esilwenzayo, ukukhiqizwa kuzonyuka futhi amanani ehle,” kusho yena. Ngakho uma ufuna ukufaka izinambuzane esikhundleni senyama yenkomo noma yenkukhu ebizayo, kuzobiza kakhulu eminyakeni embalwa ezayo.”
O, futhi akuthina kuphela okungenzeka ukuthi sidla izinambuzane eziningi - singase ngisho nangosuku olulodwa sithenge inyama yenkomo efunzwe izinambuzane. Kusho ukuthini lokho? U-Paul Fantom we-FAO ukholelwa ukuthi izinambuzane zinamandla amakhulu njengokudla kwezilwane. “Okwamanje, imithombo eyinhloko yamaprotheni ekudleni kwezilwane ubhontshisi wesoya kanye nenhlanzi, ngakho-ke empeleni siphakela imikhiqizo yezinkomo engadliwa abantu, okuyinto engasebenzi kahle,” esho. “Ngezinambuzane, singazifunza imfucuza engaqhudelani nezidingo zabantu.” Ingasaphathwa eyokuthi izinambuzane zidinga indawo encane kakhulu namanzi ukuze zikhuphuke uma kuqhathaniswa, ake sithi, ubhontshisi wesoya. Kodwa uFantom uxwayise ngokuthi kungase kuthathe iminyaka eminingana ngaphambi kokuba kube nokukhiqizwa okwanele ukwenza ukudla kwezinambuzane kuncintisane nemithombo yamanje yokudla kwezilwane, futhi nemithethonqubo edingekayo yokusebenzisa izinambuzane kumaketanga ethu okudla isikhona.
Ngakho, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi sikuchaza kanjani, izinambuzane zigcina seziwukudla. Ingabe ukudla ikhukhi lekhilikithi likashokoledi kungasindisa iplanethi? Cha, kodwa ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, umthelela onqwabelene wabantu abaningi abadla inani elincane lokudla kwezinambuzane ungase unikeze inyama eyengeziwe nezinsiza kubantu abakhulayo beplanethi - futhi kukusize uhlangabezane nesilinganiso sakho samaprotheni ngesikhathi.
