Ngo-2022 inkampani yezimpahla zokugqoka yase-Italy i-OVS yamemezela ubudlelwano bokulima ukotini eSicily ethi yavula amehlo ayo ekuboneni iqiniso lokuthola impahla eluhlaza futhi ifuna izinhlobo eziningi zokwenza okufanayo.
Kuyindlela entsha kodwa leyo i-OVS yezingubo zabesilisa nezabesifazane efunga ngayo ekuqinisekiseni ukuthi ukotini wayo uhlangabezana nezindinganiso zayo zokuziphatha nezemvelo.
Ngo-2022, i-OVS yaqala iphrojekthi ezoqinisekisa “uchungechunge lokuhlinzekwa kwama-Italian” olwenziwa kusetshenziswa ukotini ovunwa eSicily.
Yini eyenza i-OVS iqale iphrojekthi yayo yokulima ukotini?
Lesi sinyathelo sihambisana nezinhloso ze-OVS zokuthola izinto zokusetshenziswa ezisimeme kakhudlwana. Kusukela ngo-2021, u-100% kakotini womthengisi uvela emithonjeni esimeme kakhudlwana, nokho ukutshalwa kukakotini otshalwe eSicily kwakusho ukuthi kungase kuqale ukukhiqizwa kwasekhaya ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukulandeleka kwakho konke ukuhlinzekwa.
Kwavela ekuqwashiseni ukuthi izicelo ezisimeme ziwumzabalazo. Nakuba ingxenye yenqubo yokukhiqiza ingubo isimeme ngokuphelele, ingase ithembele kwenye ingxenye - isibonelo ukusetshenziswa kwamanzi ngesikhathi sokutshala ukotini - lokho akusimeme nakancane.
"Kwakunzima kakhulu ukuxhumana nokusimama," kuchaza uSimone Colombo, inhloko yokusimama kwebhizinisi kwa-OVS.
"Sinqume ukuthi singabe sisathembela ohlelweni lokulinganisa okuningi," waqala. “Yebo, sithola ukotini wemvelo, osetshenziswa kabusha kanye noBetter, okuyibhalansi enkulu. Futhi nakuba siwujabulela umsebenzi we-Better Cotton okuwuhlelo olunamandla nolunomthelela, siyaqaphela ukuthi kuyinkimbinkimbi ukuxhumana. Besichitha isikhathi esiningi sichazela ozakwethu ukuthi ibhalansi eningi isebenza kanjani bese sizama ukuthola ukuthi singakuchaza kanjani lokho kumthengi ngethikithi elincane.”
Ngenxa yalokho, yasusa konke ukuxhumana mayelana nokotini osimeme.
“Uma kuyi-organic, sithi kunjalo. Lokhu, singakufakazela ngokusebenzisa ukulandeleka. Kodwa sasuka ekukubhaleni njengokuzinzile. Sithole ukuthi kudala ukudideka kunokuphumela obala.”
Uveze “ukwehluleka ohlelweni lokunikeza izitifiketi” okuhlanganisa namahlazo ahlobene nokucwaningwa kwamabhuku okwenziwa ezingeni lokulima noma ezinye izigaba ze-supply chain okuveze ukuthi “uchungechunge lokugcinwa kwesitokisi lubuthaka kancane”.
“Bekumele sikuqinise ngenye indlela. Bekudingeka siqonde ukuthi uchungechunge lokuhlinzekwa kukakotini lusebenze kanjani ngempela futhi sigxile ekukhanyeni nasekulandelekeni, hhayi njengenani lomthengi ekuqaleni, kodwa njengesidingo esiyinhloko sokuba siqonde ngokugcwele iketango lenani.”
Ngo-2022 umkhiqizo wethula iqoqo lawo lokuqala lezingubo zikakotini zaseSicily ngenxa yokubambisana nenkampani iCotone Organico di Sicilia.
Nakuba indawo yokutshala, eyakhiwe ngaphandle nje kwase-Palermo ngeke ifinyelele amazinga okukhiqiza afanayo njengalapho amasimu kakotini ethatha izinkulungwane zamahektha esiqhingini, ukubuyiswa kwesitshalo sikakotini esilahlekile kwaba nengxenye ekuzalweni kabusha kwendawo, ukukhulisa ukukhiqizwa kwezindwangu, nokudala amathuba omnotho wendawo. Amasu asetshenziswayo avikela umhlabathi, anciphisa ukusetshenziswa kwamanzi futhi ahloniphe izinhlobonhlobo zezinto eziphilayo.
Umsuka wefayibha waqinisekiswa ngokuwumaka nge-DNA eyingqayizivele eyakhelwe i-OVS ngu-Haelixa.
Umkhiqizo oqediwe wabe usuvela ku-Progetto Quid, inkampani yezemfashini enesimilo esizinze eduze kwase-Verona.
Eseshini yephaneli ehlola obala kusuka epulazini kuye kwelinye futhi ichaza ngezinyathelo zephrothokholi yokuphela-siya-ekupheleni, u-Columbo wachaza isisekelo sephrojekthi kanye nokufunda.
UColombo uthe yiphrojekthi encane kodwa “enamandla amakhulu.”
“Cabanga ukuthi ukutshala ukotini kwanyamalala e-Italy ngeminyaka yawo-1970 ngakho sasingenalo ulwazi, imishini, amasu noma abalimi. Kodwa sathola lona owanquma ukuqala ukutshala ukotini eSicily lapho inhlabathi ikahle ngokwanele, isimo sezulu sihle futhi umphumela wawuthakazelisa. Impela ngeke ngisho okuhle noma okuhle kakhulu. Kodwa kuyathakazelisa.”
Okutholakele kuphrojekthi
Njengomkhiqizo, uthe, i-OVS izuze ulwazi olungcono lokutshala ukotini.
“Kuyahlaba umxhwele ukuqonda okushiwo ukutshala ukotini ngokombono wokulima okuhlukile uma ujwayele ukukhuluma ngakho ezingeni lentambo noma indwangu. Ezingeni le-fiber, ama-KPI ahlukile osebenza nawo, uhlelo oluhlukile lokubandakanya lomphakeli wakho osekude kakhulu neketango.”
Ukuze kubandakanye abantu bayo, abasebenzi be-OVS okuhlanganisa abasebenzi basesitolo nabaphathi bazobandakanyeka ekuvuneni ukotini.
“Babona sengathi benza izikibha ezidayisa ezitolo. Kwakumangalisa lokho. Abaningi babengakaze basibone isitshalo sikakotini ngaphambili. Lokho bekunamandla amakhulu njengethuba lokuqeqesha abantu bakithi ngokotini okungenye yezinto zethu ezibalulekile.”
Vele, iphrojekthi ayizange ishodelwe nezinselelo zayo futhi esimweni se-OVS yayiwukuntuleka kokufinyelela kwemishini, izigayo nezigayo. Ngenxa yalokho, yaqala ukusebenzisana nenyuvesi yendawo eyayinomshini omdala wokukha.
“Lokhu kwasisusa ekulimeni amathani amabili kakotini saya kumathani angu-20. Manje sizama ukukhuphula umkhiqizo ngoba uvumela umlimi ithuba lokudayisa. Sizothenga konke akukhiqizayo. Sinezidingo zikakotini ezingu-30,000 XNUMX ngonyaka ukuze sithenge noma yini evela kula masimu amancane.”
Enye yezinto uColombo azimisele ngokuyenza ukugwema ukusebenzisa izimangalo “eziqhubekayo” ethi akwanele ukumane ubeke izimangalo esenzweni esisodwa.
Ngohlelo lokulinywa kukakotini enye yezinselelo ababhekane nazo wukumosheka komhlaba okudalwa ukungachelelwa kahle okudala umthamo wamanzi amancane.
Kodwa-ke, lo msebenzi waba nezithelo ekunikezeni indlela entsha yokucabanga ngokutholakala kwempahla eluhlaza.
“Ubambiswano esinalo njengomkhiqizo nomdayisi nomlimi kakotini lusivumela ukuba sigweme noma yikuphi ukuqagela kwe-supply chain ngoba kuzo zonke izigaba ze-supply chain - manje esibonakala kithi - kune-markup. Singathenga ukotini ngentengo efanele, hhayi ngentengo ephansi futhi mhlawumbe nenani eliphakeme, kodwa inani elifanele ngoba livumela ukutshalwa kwezimali kanye nezinqubo zokulima ezingcono. Sigwema wonke ama-markup kwezinye izigaba njengokuhweba ngokwesibonelo. ”
Yiziphi izinhlobo ezingafundwa kuphrojekthi ye-OVS yokulima ukotini
U-Tara Luckman, umphathi wokubandakanya ababambiqhaza (umxhumanisi), i-US Cotton Trust Protocol, uchaze ukuthi kunezinyathelo ezimbalwa ezithathwayo zemikhiqizo evela kuphrojekthi ye-OVS.
“Sekuyiminyaka sicela njengomkhakha ukuthi kususwe abalingisi abangalungile futhi siyaqala ukubona lawo mandla engena nemigudu yokulawula. Ngakho-ke kulabo abenza umsebenzi omuhle, kuyinto okufanele igujwe ngempela. Sikhulume ngokususa ukungabaza mayelana nokwabelana ngedatha futhi siyabona manje ukuthi kuyaphi nokuthi yini inhloso. Akuyona nje idatha ngenxa yedatha. Kunesizathu sokuhlinzeka ngolwazi olunembile lwekhasimende oluzongena kumaphasipoti omkhiqizo wedijithali.
“Kuzoba khona umsebenzi ohilelekile ekuhleleni yonke leyo datha kodwa uma isingenile singavula ithuba elisha mayelana nokufundisa abathengi nokuzama ukuxazulula ezinye zezinselelo uSimone abekhuluma ngazo njengokudicilela phansi kanye nokwenza lula kakhulu ukusimama. Imiyalezo izokwenziwa ngendlela efanayo.”
Ngaleso sikhathi, u-Mead Hardwick, uzakwethu e-Hardwick Planting Company ubize okwenziwa yi-OVS ngokuthi “kuhle kakhulu”.
“Sikhulisa impahla lapho singakwazi khona ukulawula amanani entengo ngakho ukuba nozakwethu abafana ne-US Cotton Trust Protocol ukuqinisekisa ukuthi umkhiqizo wethu uhlala uhlezi etafuleni mkhulu. Imayelana nokuqinisekisa ukuqina kwethu ezinguqukweni zemakethe, kanye nezinguquko zemvelo ukuze sikwazi ukuhlinzeka ngamavolumu adingwa yimboni yethu.
“Ngicabanga ukuthi i-OVS efuna ukuyenza inkulu kakhulu futhi kukhona nezinye izinhlobo ezifuna ukwenza lokho. Ithola isinyathelo sokuqala sokwenza lokho. Kuwuchungechunge lokuhlinzeka oluyinkimbinkimbi. Kodwa amabhrendi azimisele ukuphuma ngaphandle kwendawo yawo yokunethezeka futhi ahlanganyele azohamba ibanga elide ekusizeni ukuthi ukunikezwa kukakotini kuthembekile futhi kuzinzile. ”
