Iziphumo ezintsha ezikhutshwe namhlanje ngabakwa IBhunga loBugcisa baseLwandle (MSC) ibonisa ukuba abantu baya betshintsha ukutya kwabo ngenxa yezizathu zokusingqongileyo njengoko inkxalabo malunga nokutshintsha kwemozulu ikhula. Emva kwehlobo lobushushu obusongela ubomi, izaqhwithi eziqatha, izikhukula ezingazange zibonwe ngaphambili, kunye nezinye iimeko zemozulu ezibangelwa kukutshintsha kwemozulu, abanye abathengi bayayilawula impembelelo yabo kwindalo ngokutya kwabo.
Izinto ezintsha ezifunyenwe yi-Marine Stewardship Council zibonisa ukuba abantu bayatshintsha indlela abatya ngayo ngenxa yokutshintsha kwemozulu.
Iqhutywa ngumcebisi wezimvo ezizimeleyo i-GlobeScan ye-MSC, i-international engenzi nzuzo enoxanduva lweyona ecolabel yokutya kwaselwandle esetyenziswa kakhulu kwihlabathi, isifundo1 bafumanise ukuba i-31% yabaphenduli behlabathi abathi batshintshe ukutya kwabo kwiminyaka emibini edlulileyo benza oko ngenxa yezizathu ezahlukeneyo zokusingqongileyo. Oku kuquka ukutya ukutya okugcinwe ngakumbi (17%), ukunciphisa impembelelo yokutshintsha kwemozulu (11%), kunye nokukhusela iilwandlekazi (9%). Aba bathengi banengqiqo bajolise ekuthengeni iimveliso ezihlangabezana nemilinganiselo yabo yokusingqongileyo, kwaye iqela elikhulayo labathengi lizama ukuba "kwimozulu"2 kwizigqibo zabo. Abantu baseCalifornia babike inani eliphezulu labathengi ababika ukutshintsha ukutya kwabo ngenxa yezizathu zokusingqongileyo, kwi-40%, kunye nePacific Northwesterners engekude ngasemva kwi-39%.
Ukongeza kwiinkxalabo zokusingqongileyo ezibangela ukuba abathengi batshintshe imikhwa yokuthenga, ukunyuka kweendleko zokutya kunye nokunyuka kwamaxabiso ngokubanzi ziinkxalabo ezintsha.
ukubumba izigqibo zokuthenga. E-US, ixabiso leegrosari linyuke nge-13.5% ngokwe-Index Price Price3, ngokunyuka ukuya kuthi ga kwi-4% kulindeleke ngoDisemba 2022 kumaxabiso okutya ekhaya4. Ngokunyukayo, umceli mngeni kubathengi abanolwazi kukugcina isikhenkcezisi kunye ne-pantry ngokutya okufikelelekayo okunesondlo kunye nokuhambelana nokusingqongileyo.
Ukutya kwaselwandle kunika iprotheyini enempilo, ehambelana neplanethi, kwaye uphando lwakutsha nje luxele ukuba ukuvuna ukutya kwaselwandle kuvelisa ikhabhoni encinci kunokuveliswa kwenyama. Ukutya kwaselwandle okubanjiswe endle kwafunyaniswa ukuba kunekhabhoni ephantsi ngenxa yokunqongophala kokusetyenziswa komhlaba okanye imfuno yamagalelo (ukutya, amanzi, njl.njl.)[5]. Ukutya kwaselwandle kunokwanelisa iminqweno yabathengi abaziyo kunye neemozulu ezinokhetho kwiindawo ezininzi zevenkile yegrosari, nakuwo onke amaxabiso.
U-Okthobha yiNyanga yeSizwe yoKutya kwaselwandle, okwenza eli ibelixesha lokwabelana ngokuba kutheni ukutya kwaselwandle okuzinzileyo, okubanjiswa endle yeyona ndlela ilungileyo kubantu bemozulu kunye neentsapho ezifuna ukutya okunesondlo nokufikelelekayo. Abathengisi bokutya abaninzi bakhuthaza ukutya kwaselwandle okuzinzileyo ngeNyanga yoKutya kwaselwandle, ke jonga amaxabiso kunye neentengiso inyanga yonke kwivenkile yakho yegrosari. Kwivenkile, abathengi baya kwiimpawu ezifana neDucktrap River yaseMaine, uNksk. I-Ecolabels iphakamisa ukuthembana phakathi kwabathengi kwiimpawu eziziphethe ngokophononongo lwe-GlobeScan, kunye ne-46% yabantu abaxela ukuba banezinga eliphezulu lokuthembela kumabango e-MSC. Xa abathengi bebona ileyibhile ye-MSC blue fish kwiimveliso zokutya kwaselwandle, oko kuthetha ukuba umsebenzi obanzi owenziwe ngabaphicothi-zincwadi beqela lesithathu elizimeleyo ngokuchasene nemigangatho ye-MSC sele wenziwe, kujongwe okokugqibela kunye neziqinisekiso yi-MSC phambi kokuba uphawu lubekwe kwimveliso. I-MSC ifikelela ezantsi apho kuvela khona ukutya kwakho kwaselwandle kunye nendlela ebekuvunwa ngayo, ngoko ke ukubona ileyibhile yentlanzi eluhlaza kuthetha ukuba abathengi banokujonga "ukulungelelana nolwandle" kuluhlu lwezinto ezixhalabisayo.
UNicole Condon, umlawuli wenkqubo yase-US kwiBhunga loBuphathi baseLwandle uthe, “Abathengi banamhlanje bacelwa umngeni zizinto ezibonakala ngathi zikhuphisana phambili – ukuthenga ukunciphisa impembelelo kokusingqongileyo, ukuthenga iindlela ezisempilweni nokuhlala kuhlahlo lwabiwo-mali. Njengoko sisiya kwiNyanga ye-Okthobha yokutya kwaselwandle, kubalulekile ukuba abathengi bazi ukuba aba baqhubi abathengayo akufuneki baxabane. Jonga i-MSC blue fish logo kwiimveliso zokutya kwaselwandle kumaxabiso ahlukeneyo ukuze wazi ukuba ukutya kwaselwandle kubanjwe ngendlela egcinakeleyo kokusingqongileyo. Siyathemba ukuba ileyibhile ye-MSC eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka inokuba yinxalenye yokutya kwemozulu-isisombululo esilula kodwa esithembekileyo sokufumana ukutya kwaselwandle okuqinisekisiweyo okuzinzileyo.
Malunga ne-MSC
I-Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) ngumbutho wamazwe ngamazwe ongenzi nzuzo omisela imigangatho eyaziwayo kwihlabathi jikelele yokuloba okuzinzileyo kunye nokubonelela ngokutya kwaselwandle. I-MSC ecolabel kunye nenkqubo yoqinisekiso iqaphela kwaye ivuze izenzo zokuloba ezizinzileyo kwaye inceda ekudaleni urhwebo oluzinzileyo lokutya kwaselwandle. I-MSC ecolabel kwimveliso yokutya kwaselwandle ithetha ukuba iphuma kwishishini lokuloba elisendle eliqinisekiswe ngokuzimeleyo kumgangatho we-MSC osekwe kwisayensi kushishino lokuloba oluzinzileyo. Amashishini okuloba amele ngaphezulu kwe-19% yokubanjiswa elwandle elwandle abandakanyeka kwinkqubo yawo yoqinisekiso, kwaye ngaphezulu kwe-20,000 yeemveliso ezahlukeneyo ezinophawu lwe-MSC ziyafumaneka kwiishelufa kwihlabathi liphela (amanani achanekileyo ukusuka ngama-31 kuMatshi wama-2021).
I-1 Uphononongo lwenziwe kumazwe angama-23, kubandakanywa ne-US, kwaye ibandakanya abathengi be-25,000 baselwandle.
