Oojongilanga bomile kwihood yemoto endala kwiMASA Seed Foundation ngo-Oct. 1, 2022, eBoulder, Colorado. Isiseko sikhulisa iintlobo ezingaphezu kwama-50 zikajongilanga ezivela kumazwe angama-50 ahlukeneyo. Bafumene iindidi ezisixhenxe ezikhula kakuhle kwimozulu yaseBoulder. Le fama ilima izityalo ezingama-250,000, kuquka iziqhamo, imifuno, nezityalo zembewu. I-Masa Seed Foundation yintsebenziswano yezolimo ekhula i-pollinated evulekile, i-heirloom, inzalelwane, kunye nembewu yengingqi elungelelaniswe efama. Bazabalazela ukudala ibhanki yembewu ye-bioregional, benze intsebenziswano yomvelisi wembewu yezizwe ezininzi, basasaze imbewu ye-organic kunye nemveliso yokunceda indlala, ukukhuthaza iinkqubo zamavolontiya ezemfundo kwezolimo, ukulima, kunye ne-permaculture, kunye nokuqeqesha kunye nokunceda ukukhula ekuhlaleni abo balima ukutya ngokuzinzileyo. kunye neendawo zokuhlala kunye neefama.

Akusaneli nje ukuzilimela ukutya kwakho; Inyathelo lokuqala kukucwangcisa ukutya okunokukhula kwimozulu etshintshayo, kuqalwa ngokuqokelelwa kwembewu neminyaka yokuziqhelanisa.
"Akukhona nje ukuba abantu baqala ukufunda ngakumbi malunga nokuba ngubani okhulisa ukutya kwabo, kodwa baqala ukuqonda ukuba yeyiphi imbewu ekwazi ukumelana nokutshintsha kwemozulu engenakuphepheka," watsho uLaura Allard, umphathi wemisebenzi ye-MASA Seed Fund eBoulder.
U-Allard kunye no-Rich Pecoraro, owasungula inkqubo yembewu ye-MASA kwaye esebenza njengomlawuli wezolimo, ulawula ngokubambisana isiseko, esilawula iihektare ezingama-24 kwimpuma ye-Boulder unyaka wonke. Injongo yesiseko kukukhulisa imbewu ye-organic njengenxalenye yebhanki yembewu ye-bioregional.
INgxowa-mali yeMbewu ye-MASA isebenzisana neSebe le-Ecology kunye ne-Evolutionary Biology kwiYunivesithi yaseColorado Boulder. “Kuyamangalisa ukubona indlela ezibaluleke ngayo ezi nkalo zebhayoloji kwifama enjengale,” utshilo uNolan Kane, unjingalwazi osebenza naye eyunivesithi. “I-CU isebenzisana ne-MASA ukwenza uphando kwifama, kuquka ezolimo oluzinzileyo, imfuzo, kunye nebhayoloji yezityalo. Ukufundisa.”
U-Kane wachaza ukuba abafundi bakhe banethuba lokubona okokuqala inkqubo yokukhethwa kwezityalo kunye nokulima, kunye nendlela izifundo ze-biology zeklasi eziqhutyelwa ngayo kwifama yangempela.
Abatyeleli be-MASA empuma Boulder ekuqaleni baziva ngathi zikhumbuza iifama ezikufutshane, apho banokuthatha khona iiodolo zezoLimo eziXhaswayo kuLuntu (CSA) okanye bayeke kwiindawo ezithengisayo ukuze bathenge imveliso yamaxesha onyaka: squash, ivatala, itshilisi eziluhlaza, iintyatyambo, nokunye. . Eyona nto iyahlula phakathi kwendlu yasefama evalwe mhlophe kumda wefama: ngaphakathi kukho ivenkile yembewu eneengqayi ezizaliswe ngumbona omibalabala, iimbotyi, imifuno, iintyatyambo, umngqusho, iipepile kunye neenkozo. Igumbi elincinci linemigqomo emikhulu ezaliswe yimbewu, eqokelelwe ngocoselelo iminyaka.
“Umsebenzi we-MASA ubaluleke kakhulu ekuxhaseni iigadi zasekhaya kunye neefama,” utshilo uKane. "Izityebi kunye nabanye abasebenzi be-MASA bagxile ekutshintsheni izityalo kwindawo yethu ekhethekileyo kunye nokubonelela ngembewu kunye nezityalo ezifanele ukukhula apha."
Ukulungelelanisa, uchaza, kuthetha ukuba imbewu inokuqokelela kuphela kwizityalo ezikhula emoyeni owomileyo, umoya ophezulu, ukuphakama okuphezulu, umhlaba wodongwe kunye nezinye iimeko ezithile, ezifana nokuchasana nezinambuzane zendawo kunye nezifo. "Ekugqibeleni, oku kuya kwandisa imveliso yokutya yasekhaya, ukhuseleko lokutya kunye nomgangatho wokutya, kunye nokuphucula uqoqosho lwezolimo lwasekhaya," kuchaza uKane.
Njengezinye iifama ezivuleleke kuluntu, le fama yembewu yamkele amavolontiya ukunceda ukwabelana ngomsebenzi (kuquka umsebenzi wasesimini kunye nomsebenzi wolawulo) kwaye bafunde ngakumbi malunga nokuzala kwembewu.
“Ngexesha lokutyala imbewu, sinamavolontiya okucoca nokupakisha imbewu ukusuka ngoNovemba ukuya kuFebruwari,” utshilo uAllard. “Ngentlakohlaza, sifuna uncedo kwindawo egcina abantwana ngokufaka imbewu, ukucheba nokunkcenkceshela. Siza kubhalisela i-intanethi ekupheleni kuka-Epreli ukuze sibe neqela elijikelezayo labantu abatyalayo, behlakula kwaye belima kulo lonke ihlobo.”
Ewe, njengayo nayiphi na ifama, ikwindla lixesha lokuvuna kwaye amavolontiya amkelekile ukuba aze kusebenza.
Isiseko sikwanalo nesebe leentyatyambo kwaye sidinga amavolontiya ukulungiselela iintyatyambo kunye nokuxhoma iintyatyambo ukuze zome de imbewu iqokelelwe. Bakwamkele abantu abanezakhono zokulawula ukunceda ngemidiya yoluntu kunye nemisebenzi yokuthengisa.
Ukuba awunalo ixesha lokuvolontiya, ipropathi ibamba ubusuku bepizza kunye nesidlo sasefama ehlotyeni, apho iindwendwe zinokufunda ngakumbi malunga nokuqokelela imbewu, ukuyikhulisa, kunye nokuzijika zibe kukutya. Le fama isoloko ityelelwa ngabantwana besikolo bengingqi, kwaye ezinye zemveliso zale fama zinikelwa kwiindawo zokugcina ukutya ezikufutshane.
I-MASA ibiza le nkqubo "yefama ukuya kwibhanki yokutya" esebenza kunye noluntu olufumana umvuzo ophantsi kule ndawo ukubabonelela "ngokutya okunesondlo."
Le ayisiyiyo yodwa ifama yembewu eColorado, kukho ezinye iibhanki zembewu eziqokelela kwaye zigcine izityalo ezisekelwe kwimozulu kwimimandla yazo.
Imbewu yaseWild Mountain, eseSunfire Ranch eCarbondale, igxile kakhulu kwiimbewu ezikhula kakuhle kwiimeko zealpine. Njengo-MASA, imbewu yabo iyafumaneka kwi-intanethi ukuze abalimi begadi yangasemva bazame ukukhulisa iintlobo zetamatati, iimbotyi, ivatala kunye nemifuno.
I-Pueblo Seed & Feed Co. e-Cortez ikhula "imbewu eqinisekisiweyo ye-organic, i-pollinated evulekile" ekhethiweyo kungekhona nje ukunyamezela imbalela kodwa kunye ne-flavour enkulu. Inkampani yayisekelwe ePueblo de yahamba ngo-2021. Ifama inika imbewu ngonyaka kwi-Traditional Indian Farmers Association.
Imbewu yeNtlango Ephakamileyo + iGadi ePaonia ikhulisa imbewu elungele imozulu yasentlango kwaye ithengise ngeengxowa kwi-intanethi, kuquka iQuinoa yaseNtlango ePhezulu, iRainbow Blue Corn, iHopi Red Dye Amaranth kunye neItalian Mountain Basil.
Oyena ndoqo kwimpumelelo yolimo lwembewu ngumonde, utshilo uAllard, kuba aba balimi kufuneka bakhethe ukutya okusemgangathweni abakufunayo. “Ngokomzekelo, endaweni yokusebenzisa imichiza, sityala izityalo ezingamahlakani ukuze izinambuzane okanye izinambuzane zitsaleleke kwiimarigold kuneetumato,” utshilo.
UAllard wenza imifuniselo enomdla ngeendidi ezingama-65 ze lettuce, evuna ezo zingabuniyo xa kushushu – umzekelo wendlela izityalo ezinokuthi zikhethwe kwaye zikhuliswe ngeyona ndlela ilungileyo yesivuno sexesha elizayo.
I-MASA kunye nezinye iifama zembewu e-Colorado zibonelela ngezifundo kwabo bafuna ukufunda ngakumbi malunga nembewu ekwazi ukumelana nemozulu abangayikhula ekhaya, okanye babanike ithuba lokutyelela iifama zabo kwaye bancede kulo msebenzi obalulekileyo.
Abazali bathi 'heha!' ixesha apho abantwana babo betyelela ifama kwaye babe nemincili ngekamva lenkqubo yokutya yasekhaya,” utshilo u-Allard. “Yimfundo yamabanga aphantsi kubo.”
Bhalisela incwadana yethu entsha yokutya okuFakelweyo ukuze ufumane ukutya neziselo zaseDenver zisiwe ngqo kwibhokisi yakho.
