Sikokwaniranso kungolima wekha chakudya; choyamba ndikukonzekera zakudya zomwe zingamere nyengo yosintha, kuyambira ndi kusonkhanitsa mbewu ndi zaka zosinthika.
"Sikuti anthu akuyamba kuphunzira zambiri za omwe akukula chakudya chawo, koma akuyambanso kumvetsetsa kuti ndi mbewu ziti zomwe zimagwirizana ndi kusintha kwa nyengo kosalephereka," adatero Laura Allard, woyang'anira ntchito za MASA Seed Fund ku Boulder.
Allard ndi Rich Pecoraro, omwe adayambitsa pulogalamu ya mbeu ya MASA ndipo amatumikira monga mkulu wa zaulimi, amayang'anira maziko, omwe amayendetsa maekala 24 a minda kummawa kwa Boulder chaka chonse. Cholinga cha maziko ndi kukulitsa mbewu za organic monga gawo la nkhokwe ya bioregional.
MASA Seed Fund ikugwirizana ndi Dipatimenti ya Ecology ndi Evolutionary Biology ku yunivesite ya Colorado Boulder. "Ndizodabwitsa kuona momwe mbali za biology zilili zofunika pafamu ngati iyi," adatero Nolan Kane, pulofesa wothandizira pa yunivesiteyo. "CU imagwira ntchito ndi MASA pochita kafukufuku pafamuyo, kuphatikizapo ulimi wokhazikika, majini, ndi zomera. Maphunziro.”
Kane adalongosola kuti ophunzira ake ali ndi mwayi wowona yekha njira yosankha zomera ndi kulima, komanso momwe maphunziro a biology m'kalasi amachitikira pa famu yeniyeni.
Alendo obwera ku MASA kum'mawa kwa Boulder poyamba amamva ngati akukumbutsa minda yapafupi, komwe amatha kutenga maoda a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) kapena kuyimitsa pamalo opangira ma famu kuti agule zokolola zam'nyengo: sikwashi, mavwende, masamba obiriwira, maluwa, ndi zina zambiri. . Chomwe chimasiyanitsa ndi mkati mwa nyumba ya famu yovala zoyera m'mphepete mwa famuyo: mkati mwake muli malo ogulitsira mbewu okhala ndi mitsuko yodzaza ndi chimanga chamitundumitundu, nyemba, zitsamba, maluwa, sikwashi, tsabola, ndi mbewu. Chipinda chaching'ono chimakhala ndi migolo ikuluikulu yodzaza ndi njere, zomwe zimasonkhanitsidwa mosamalitsa kwazaka zambiri.
"Ntchito ya MASA ndi yofunika kwambiri pothandizira minda ndi minda yapafupi," adatero Kane. “Olemera ndi ena onse ogwira ntchito ku MASA amayang'ana kwambiri zosintha mbewu kuti zigwirizane ndi malo athu apadera komanso kupereka mbewu ndi mbewu zoyenera kumera kuno.
Kusinthasintha, akufotokoza, kumatanthauza kuti mbewu zimatha kusonkhanitsidwa kuchokera ku zomera zomwe zimakula bwino mumlengalenga wouma, mphepo yamkuntho, malo okwera kwambiri, dothi ladothi ndi zina zenizeni, monga kukana tizilombo ndi matenda am'deralo. "Pamapeto pake, izi zidzawonjezera kupanga chakudya cham'deralo, chitetezo cha chakudya ndi ubwino wa chakudya, ndikupititsa patsogolo chuma chaulimi," adatero Kane.
Monga minda ina yotseguka kwa anthu, famu iyi yambewu imalandira anthu odzipereka kuti athandize kugawana nawo ntchito (kuphatikiza ntchito ya m'munda ndi yoyang'anira) ndikuphunzira zambiri zoweta mbewu.
"Nthawi yobzala mbewu, tili ndi anthu odzipereka oyeretsa ndi kulongedza njere kuyambira Novembala mpaka February," adatero Allard. “M’nyengo ya masika, timafunika thandizo m’nazale ndi kubzala, kupatulira ndi kuthirira. Tidzalembetsa pa intaneti kumapeto kwa Epulo kuti titha kukhala ndi gulu lozungulira la anthu obzala, kupalira ndi kulima m'chilimwe chonse. ”
Inde, mofanana ndi famu ina iliyonse, nthawi yophukira ndi nthawi yokolola ndipo anthu ongodzipereka amaloledwa kubwera kudzagwira ntchito.
Maziko alinso ndi dipatimenti yamaluwa ndipo amafunikira anthu odzipereka kuti apange maluwa ndikupachika maluwa kuti aume mpaka mbewu zitasonkhanitsidwa. Amalandiranso anthu omwe ali ndi luso loyang'anira kuti athandizire pazachitukuko ndi ntchito zamalonda.
Ngati mulibe nthawi yodzipereka, malowa amakhala ndi pizza usiku komanso chakudya chamadzulo m'chilimwe, komwe alendo angaphunzire zambiri za kutolera mbewu, kuzikulitsa, ndi kuzisandutsa chakudya. Nthawi zambiri ana asukulu akumaloko amayendera famuyo, ndipo zokolola za pafamuyo zimaperekedwa ku nkhokwe zazakudya zapafupi.
MASA imatcha pulogalamu ya "farm to food bank" yomwe imagwira ntchito ndi anthu omwe amapeza ndalama zochepa m'deralo kuti awapatse "chakudya chopatsa thanzi."
Iyi si famu yokha ya mbewu ku Colorado, palinso nkhokwe zina zambewu zomwe zimasonkhanitsa ndi kusunga mbewu potengera nyengo ya m'madera awo.
Wild Mountain Seeds, yomwe ili ku Sunfire Ranch ku Carbondale, imapanga mbewu zomwe zimakula bwino m'mapiri. Monga MASA, mbewu zawo zimapezeka pa intaneti kotero kuti olima kuseri atha kuyesa kulima mitundu yosiyanasiyana ya tomato, nyemba, mavwende, ndi ndiwo zamasamba.
Pueblo Seed & Feed Co. ku Cortez amalima "mbewu zovomerezeka, zotseguka" zomwe zimasankhidwa osati chifukwa chopirira chilala komanso kununkhira kwakukulu. Kampaniyo idakhazikitsidwa ku Pueblo mpaka idasamuka mu 2021. Famuyi imapereka mbewu chaka chilichonse ku bungwe la Traditional Indian Farmers Association.
High Desert Seed + Gardens ku Paonia amalima mbewu zoyenera kumadera akuchipululu ndikuzigulitsa m'matumba pa intaneti, kuphatikiza High Desert Quinoa, Rainbow Blue Corn, Hopi Red Dye Amaranth ndi Italy Mountain Basil.
Chinsinsi cha ulimi wa mbeu ndi kudekha, adatero Allard, chifukwa alimiwa amayenera kusankha zakudya zomwe akufuna. “Mwachitsanzo, m’malo mogwiritsa ntchito mankhwala, timabzala zomera zina kuti tizilombo kapena tizilombo tikopeke ndi marigold osati tomato,” iye anatero.
Allard amayesa mwachidwi mitundu 65 ya letesi, kukolola zomwe sizifota ndi kutentha - chitsanzo cha momwe mbewu zingasankhidwe ndikukulitsidwa kuti zibweretse zokolola zabwino zamtsogolo.
MASA ndi minda ina yambewu ku Colorado amapereka maphunziro kwa iwo omwe akufuna kuphunzira zambiri za mbewu zolimbana ndi nyengo zomwe angakulire kunyumba, kapena kuwapatsa mwayi woyendera minda yawo ndikuwathandiza pa ntchito yofunikayi.
“Makolo ali ndi mawu akuti 'aha!' nthawi yomwe ana awo amapita ku famu ndikusangalala ndi tsogolo la chakudya cham'deralo," adatero Allard. "Ndi maphunziro a pulaimale kwa iwo."
Lowani kalata yathu yatsopano yazakudya Chakudya kuti mutenge nkhani zachakudya ndi zakumwa za Denver molunjika kubokosi lanu.
