Isifinyezo sokuqonda

Ubuchwepheshe bezolimo, noma i-AgTech, ibumba kabusha ukulima ngokunikeza izixazululo ezihlukahlukene ezithuthukisiwe, kusukela ekulimeni okunembayo kuya ekuxhaseni ngezimali ezolimo. Lobu buchwepheshe benza abalimi bakwazi ukuthola ulwazi olwalungatholakali ngaphambilini, olufana nemininingwane yasensimini enemininingwane evela kuzindiza ezingenazindiza, izibikezelo zezulu ezinembile, kanye nezinhlobonhlobo zembewu yezitshalo ku-inthanethi. Njengoba inani labantu emhlabeni liqhubeka nokukhula, i-AgTech inikeza isixazululo esithembisayo sokwandisa isivuno, sithuthukise ukusetshenziswa kwezinsiza, futhi siguqule isimo sezolimo.

Izimali ze-AgTech umongo

I-AgTech imboni ekhula ngokushesha ehlinzeka ngezixazululo ezihlukahlukene ezithuthukisiwe kwezobuchwepheshe zokulima. Lezi zixazululo zisukela ekulimeni okunembayo, okusebenzisa ubuchwepheshe ukukala nokwandisa ukusetshenziswa kwezinsiza, kuya ekuxhasweni ngezimali kwezolimo, okusiza abalimi ukuphatha izinsiza zabo zezimali ngempumelelo. Ukwengeza, amabhizinisi e-AgTech asiza abalimi ekuhlonzeni izimakethe ezinenzuzo enkulu yemikhiqizo yabo. Ngaphandle kokuphazamiseka komhlaba wonke okubangelwe wubhubhane lwe-COVID-19, umkhakha we-AgTech ukhombise ukuqina, umkhakha wezolimo ubeka amarekhodi okuvuna nokutshala ngo-2020.

Ukusetshenziswa kobuchwepheshe kwezolimo kuye kwavula izindlela ezintsha zolwazi ebezingatholakali kubalimi phambilini. Isibonelo, abalimi manje sebengasebenzisa amasathelayithi noma ama-drones ukuhlola amasimu ezitshalo zabo. Lezi zixhobo zinikeza idatha enemininingwane mayelana nezidingo ezithile zamasimu azo, njengenani lokunisela elidingekayo noma izindawo lapho izibulala-zinambuzane kufanele zifakwe khona. Lobu buchwepheshe buvumela abalimi ukuthi baphathe izinsiza zabo ngendlela egculisayo, benciphisa ukumosha nokwandisa isivuno sezitshalo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, abalimi manje sebengakwazi ukufinyelela izibikezelo zesimo sezulu nezimvula ezinembile, ezingabasiza ukuhlela izinhlelo zabo zokutshala nokuvuna ngempumelelo.

Umkhakha we-AgTech awukona nje ukuhlinzeka ngolwazi; futhi inikeza izixazululo ezisebenzayo ezingaguqula indlela ukulima okwenziwa ngayo. Abalimi manje sebengakwazi ukusesha imbewu yezitshalo ku-inthanethi futhi balethwe ngokuqondile emapulazini abo ngamapulatifomu e-AgTech ahlukahlukene. Le nsizakalo inika abalimi ukufinyelela ezinhlotsheni eziningi zembewu kunaleyo abangayithola endaweni yangakubo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, imboni izama ngogandaganda basezindaweni ezizimele abangasetshenzelwa kude, ukunciphisa isidingo somsebenzi wezandla nokwandisa ukusebenza kahle. Ngenxa yalezi ntuthuko ezithembisayo, umkhakha we-AgTech uheha inzalo kubatshalizimali abahlukahlukene, okuhlanganisa nezimali zebhizinisi elivamile.

Umthelela ophazamisayo

Inani labantu emhlabeni wonke elikhulayo, i-UN elilinganisela ukuthi likhula ngesigidigidi njalo eminyakeni eyishumi nantathu, libeka inselele enkulu ezindleleni zethu zokulima zamanje. Nokho, umkhakha osafufusa we-AgTech unikeza ukukhanya kwethemba. Kuyenzeka ukukhulisa izindlela zokulima, kwandiswe isivuno sezitshalo nokusiza ukuvala igebe phakathi kokukhiqiza nokudla.

Ngokusebenzisa isoftware ekhethekile, abalimi bangakwazi ukuphatha kahle izinsiza zabo, banciphise ukumosha nokwandisa ukusebenza kahle. Ukwengeza, ukuthuthukiswa kwembewu eshintshwe izakhi ezimelana nemiphumela yokushintsha kwesimo sezulu kungasiza ekuqinisekiseni isivuno esingaguquki, ngisho nasezimweni zezulu ezingaphansi kwezikahle. Ukusetshenziswa kwamasathelayithi noma ama-drones ukuze kuqashwe insimu ubusuku nemini kunganikeza abalimi idatha yesikhathi sangempela, okubenza bakwazi ukuphendula ngokushesha kunoma yiziphi izinkinga, ezifana nokuhlasela kwezinambuzane noma ukuqubuka kwezifo.

Izinzuzo ezingaba khona zalokhu kuthuthuka kwezobuchwepheshe azilahleki ezinkampanini ezihamba phambili zezolimo. Ngokubona amathuba okukhula kwesivuno kanye nenzuzo, lezi zinkampani kungenzeka zitshale kuzixazululo ze-AgTech, ezingaholela ekwamukelweni okubanzi kwalobu buchwepheshe phakathi kwabalimi. Njengoba abalimi abaningi bamukela ubuchwepheshe, singabona ushintsho endaweni yezolimo, namapulazi akhiqiza imiphumela eminingi ngesivinini esisheshayo. 

Imithelela yokutshalwa kwezimali kwe-AgTech

Imithelela ebanzi yokutshalwa kwezimali kwe-AgTech ingafaka:

• Ukuthuthukiswa kwesivuno sezitshalo kubalimi, kusiza ekwandiseni ukutholakala kwemakethe kokudla kanye nokuba negalelo ekuxazululeni indlala emhlabeni.
• Ukwenyuswa kokutshalwa kwezimali yizinkampani ezinkulu zokudla ekuqhubekiseni ucwaningo olusha lwe-AgTech, okuvumela ukudalwa kwemisebenzi eyengeziwe yezolimo yonjiniyela bezinhlelo zokusebenza nonjiniyela.
• Ukunciphisa ukuthembela kwabalimi ezimakethe zendawo ngezinketho eziphansi ezihlukahlukene, nokubavumela ukuthi balime ngokuyimpumelelo ngokwezidingo zemakethe futhi bakhulise inzuzo yabo.
• Ukuhlanganiswa kwe-AgTech okuholela ekulimeni kwasemadolobheni kwande kakhulu njengoba ubuchwepheshe benza kube lula ukutshala ukudla ezindaweni ezincane.
• Ukwenyuka kokusebenza kahle okuholela ekwehleni kwamanani entengo okudla, okwenza umkhiqizo onempilo, omusha ufinyeleleke kalula ezinhlakeni ezibanzi zamaholo.
• Izinqubomgomo ezintsha zokulawula ukusetshenziswa kobuchwepheshe, njengama-drones nogandaganda abazimele, ukuqinisekisa ukuphepha kuyilapho kungavinjwa inqubekelaphambili.
• Ukuguqulwa kwezimo zokufudukela emadolobheni kuya emadolobheni njengobuchwepheshe kwenza ukulima kube nenzuzo enkulu futhi kungadingeki kangako ngokomzimba.
• Intuthuko emikhakheni ehlobene, njengamandla avuselelekayo, njengoba amapulazi efuna ukunika amandla imisebenzi yawo enikwe amandla ezobuchwepheshe ngendlela eqhubekayo.
• Izinyathelo zokuqeqesha kabusha kanye nokukhulisa amakhono abasebenzi basemapulazini ukuze bathole izindima ezintsha.
• Ukuncipha kokusetshenziswa kwamanzi nezibulala-zinambuzane, okunomthelela ekulondolozweni kwemithombo yemvelo kanye nezinhlobonhlobo zezinto eziphilayo.

Imibuzo okufanele icatshangelwe

• Abalimi bendabuko bazokwazi kanjani ukuxhasa ngezimali izisombululo ze-AgTech? 
• Ingabe abalimi abancane bazozuza ekutshalweni kwezimali kwe-AgTech noma ingabe izinzuzo ze-AgTech cishe zizogcinelwa izinkampani ezinkulu zezolimo?
