Naphezu kwezenzakalo ezidabukisayo, ibhizinisi lezolimo emhlabeni wonke lihlala liqinile-okuhle, ngoba wonke umhlaba udinga ukudla.

Isiphepho esihle kakhulu sihlasele imakethe yezolimo yomhlaba wonke kulo nyaka—noma, kwezinye izindawo, isomiso esihle kakhulu.Impi e-Ukraine;ukuphazamiseka komhlaba wonke kwangemuva kobhubhane;ukuqopha isomiso eYurophu naseChina;amaqhwa eBrazil;Isiphepho u-Ian eFlorida;kanye nezimvula ezinamandla nezikhukhula eNdiya, ePakistan nase-Australia kuhlangene ngo-2022 ukuze kuvivinywe imikhawulo yokukhiqizwa kwamanje kanye nochungechunge lokudayisa lokuhlinzekwa kokudla.

"Izinkinga ezimbalwa ezithintekile ukunikezwa, kodwa iminyaka emithathu yeLa Niña kanye nempi yase-Ukraine yizinto ezimbili ezinkulu lapho," kusho uCarlos Mera Arzeno, inhloko ye-Agri Commodities Markets Research eRabobank.

Izinselelo zamanje zengeza ubunzima emakethe esivele inezinkinga.Ngonyaka wezi-2012, iNhlangano Yezokudla Nezolimo yeNhlangano Yezizwe Ezihlangene (i-FAO) yalinganisela ukuthi ngo-2050 sizodinga ukwandisa umkhiqizo wokudla ngo-60% ngokusekelwe esimweni sebhizinisi njengenjwayelo.“Imakethe yokudla yomhlaba wonke ibhekene nenselele yokondla inani labantu elandayo, okufanele lifinyelele abantu abayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-10 ngo-2050.

Kepha njengoba ukukhula kwezitshalo zaseLatin America kubonakala kuwukubheja okuyinhloko kwemakethe esikhathini esifushane, izinselelo ezibanzi zemboni zizodinga izinguquko ezijule kakhulu ochungechungeni lokukhiqiza ukudla emhlabeni jikelele.

“Ngesikhathi esifushane, imboni yezokudla kulindeleke ukuthi imelane nanoma yikuphi ukuwohloka komnotho ngendlela.Kodwa-ke, uma sibheka phambili, inselelo enkulu kuzoba ukufaka isandla emjahweni wokukhishwa kwekhabhoni eyiziro, lapho izinguquko ezingeni lepulazi zingadla ikhabhoni futhi zibe nomthelela omuhle,” kusho u-Arzeno.“Ukudla sekunesikhathi eside kuyingxenye yenkinga;kodwa ezimweni eziningi, kungaba yingxenye yesixazululo,” kuphetha yena.
