Hazvichakwani kuti ungorima chikafu chako wega; danho rekutanga nderekuronga zvekudya zvinogona kukura mumamiriro ekunze ari kushanduka, kutanga nekuunganidzwa kwembeu uye makore ekugadzirisa.
“Hakusi chete kuti vanhu vari kutanga kudzidza zvakawanda pamusoro pekuti ndiyani ari kurima chikafu chavo, asi vari kutangawo kunzwisisa kuti ndedzipi mbeu dzinokwanisa kutsungirira kushanduka kwemamiriro ekunze kusingadzivisiki,” akadaro Laura Allard, maneja wemabasa eMASA Seed Fund muBoulder.

Donzvo renheyo nderekukura mbeu dzeorganic sechikamu chebhanga rembeu rebioregional.
Sangano reMASA Seed Fund riri kubatana neDepartment of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology paUniversity yeColorado Boulder. "Zvinoshamisa kuona kukosha kwezvinhu izvi zvebiology papurazi rakadai," akadaro Nolan Kane, mumwe purofesa payunivhesiti. “CU inoshanda neveMASA kuita tsvakiridzo papurazi iri, kusanganisira zvekurima, genetics, uye biology yezvirimwa. Kudzidzisa.”
Kane akatsanangura kuti vadzidzi vake vane mukana wekuona kutanga-maitiro ekusarudza zvirimwa nekurima, uyewo kuti zvidzidzo zvebiology zvekirasi zvinoitiswa sei papurazi chairo.
Vanoshanyira MASA kumabvazuva kweBoulder pakutanga vanonzwa senge mapurazi ari padyo, kwavanogona kutora maodha eCommunity Supported Agriculture (CSA) kana kumira pamapurazi asina kurongeka kuti vatenge zvirimwa zvemwaka: squash, mavise, green chiles, maruva, nezvimwe. . Izvo zvinozvisiyanisa ndezvomukati weimba yepurazi yakachena-yakachena pamucheto wepurazi: mukati mune chitoro chembeu chine zvirongo zvakazadzwa nechibage chine mavara, bhinzi, miriwo, maruva, squash, mhiripiri, uye zviyo. Imba diki ine madhiramu mahombe akazadzwa nembeu, akaunganidzwa zvine hungwaru nekufamba kwemakore.
“Basa reMASA rakakosha zvikuru mukutsigira magadheni nemapurazi emuno,” akadaro Kane. “Vapfumi nevamwe vese vevashandi veMASA vari kutarisa nezvekugadzirisa zvirimwa kuti zvienderane nenharaunda yatinogara uye kupa mbeu nembeu zvakakodzera kurimwa muno.”
Kuchinja-chinja, anotsanangura kudaro, zvinoreva kuti mbeu inogona kuunganidzwa chete kubva mumiti inokura mumhepo yakaoma, mhepo ine simba, nzvimbo dzakakwirira, ivhu revhu uye mamwe mamiriro ezvinhu chaiwo, akadai sekurwisa zvipembenene zvemunharaunda uye zvirwere. "Pakupedzisira, izvi zvichawedzera kugadzirwa kwechikafu, kuchengetedzwa kwechikafu uye kunaka kwechikafu, uye kuvandudza hupfumi hwekurima hwenzvimbo," Kane akatsanangura.
Kufanana nemamwe mapurazi akavhurika kune veruzhinji, purazi rembeu iri rinogamuchira vanozvipira kubatsira kugovera basa (kusanganisira basa remumunda uye rekutonga) uye kudzidza zvakawanda nezvekuuchika mbeu.
“Mumwaka wekudyara mbeu, tine vanhu vanozvipira kuchenesa nekurongedza mbeu kubva muna Mbudzi kusvika Kukadzi,” akadaro Allard. “Muchirimo tinoda kubatsirwa mukireshi nembeu, kuonda nekudiridza. Tichava nekunyoresa pamhepo pakupera kwaKubvumbi kuitira kuti tive nechikwata chinotenderera chevanhu vanodyara, kusakura nekurima muzhizha rose. "
Chokwadi, sepurazi ripi neripi, kuwa inguva yekukohwa uye vanozvipira vanogamuchirwa kuti vauye kuzoshanda.
Nheyo zvakare ine dhipatimendi remaruva uye inoda vanozvipira kuronga bouquets uye kuturika maruva kuti aome kusvika mhodzi dzaunganidzwa. Ivo zvakare vanogamuchira vanhu vane hunyanzvi hwekutonga kubatsira nemasocial media uye ekushambadzira mabasa.
Kana iwe usina nguva yekuzvipira, nzvimbo yacho inotambira husiku hwepizza uye kudya kwepapurazi muchirimo, uko vashanyi vanogona kudzidza zvakawanda nezvekuunganidza mhodzi, kudzirima, uye kudzishandura kuita chikafu. Papurazi iri rinogaroshanyirwa nevana vechikoro veko, uye zvimwe zvirimwa zvepapurazi iri zvinopihwa kumabhanga ari pedyo.
MASA inochidaidza kuti “farm to food bank” chirongwa chinoshanda nevanhu vanotambira mari shoma munzvimbo iyi kuti vawane “chikafu chinovaka muviri.”
Iri handiro chete purazi rembeu muColorado, kune mamwe mabhanga embeu anounganidza nekuchengetedza zvirimwa zvichienderana nemamiriro ekunze mumatunhu avo.
