It’s our new book, kaas oo ciwaankiisu buuxa yahay “The Food Security Reader: Runta ugu Wanaagsan ee ku saabsan Ganacsiga & Farsamada”
Readers of this column may know that we’ve been writing these pieces every week for over a decade. Waxaa soo baxday in qaar ka mid ah ay si fiican u hayaan. So we’ve gathered the finest in a new anthology, Kaas oo saxafada ka kulul.
Haddi aanu ahaan lahayn koox dhagax ah, this would be our album of “greatest hits.”
Our ‘day job’ waxay ku lug leedahay kobcinta cuntada dunidu u baahan tahay – iyadoo la isticmaalayo wax yar oo ka mid ah kheyraadkeena si aan u korno wax badan. When we aren’t planting, goosashada, ama ka werwerka roobka, Waxaan nafteena u huray Xaqiiqda Ganacsiga & Tignoolajiyada iyo hadafkeeda: siinta beeralayda codkooda doodaha guud ee ku saabsan ganacsiga xorta ah iyo muhiimadda ay u leedahay helitaanka tignoolajiyada beeraha.
Waxaan aaminsanahay in beeralaydu ay ku raaxaystaan ​​xaqa ay u leeyihiin inay ka iibiyaan waxay beeranayaan macaamiisha adduunka oo dhan. Saddexdii saf oo galley ah oo ka baxa Mareykanka, mid dibada loo raro. Nolosheenna–iyo dhaqaalaha Maraykanka–waxay ku xiran tahay dhoofintaas. Ganacsigu wuxuu noo ogolaadaa in aan cunto ka helno halka loo baahan yahay.
Mid ka mid ah tiirarkayaga, by Guddoomiyaha Dean Kleckner, is headlined “Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-Bahrain.” (Haa…you can hum it to the tune of “Barbara Ann” by Wiilasha Xeebta.) It’s about the economic and security reasons for a free-trade agreement with a Middle Eastern nation. “Bahrain may be a tiny country, laakiin anaga oo naga caawinaysa in aan shaqo ka abuurno guriga oo aan ku faafino xorriyadda adduunka oo dhan, it’s also an important part of a grand strategy,” ayuu qoray Kleckner.
Sida aad u jeeddo, we tackle the issues of the day and try to do it in a way that’s both entertaining and informative.
When we aren’t discussing the politics of trade, it’s the politics of what we eat. Waxaan aaminsanahay beeralayda meel kasta, wadamada horumaray iyo kuwa soo koraya, waa in ay helaan agabka ugu waxtarka badan ee ay uga baahan yihiin beerashada iyo soo saarista cuntada. Taas macnaheedu waxa weeye dawladuhu waa inay xeerarkooda ku saleeyaan hababka sayniska ku salaysan – ma cabsi.
In 2009, caanka ah ee U.S. TV show “CSI: Miami” oo weeraray beeralayda galleyda iyo bayotechnoolajiyada jaahilnimo cilmiyeed. Beeralayda Iowa iyo xubin guddiga TATT Tim Burrack ayaa dib ugu celiyay tiir jawaab celin degdeg ah: “The result was worse than bad television. Waxay ahayd dacaayad xaasidnimo ah oo ku salaysan qallooc iyo been abuur ku saabsan dhaqamada caanka ah ee beeraha casriga ah. Call it ‘un-reality TV,’” ayuu qoray. “There’s only one way to say it: ‘CSI: Miami’ puts the ‘BS’ ee CBS.”
“The Food Security Reader” waxay dabooshaa dhul badan 440 bogag. Kuweena 23 wax ku darsaday ayaa ka hadlay cudurka mad-lo'da, shidaal noole, iyo xattaa farmaajo ee Facebook-ga. Mawduucyada kala duwan ayaa ah mid cajiib ah.
Qaar ka mid ah tiirarka ugu fiican waxay ka yimaadaan shabakadayada beeralayda caalamiga ah. Rajesh Kumar oo u dhashay Hindiya ayaa ka codsaday helitaanka cilmiga bayoolajiga: “Farmers have the ability to take a big step forward with biotechnology–laakiin waa haddii dawladda New Delhi ay noo ogolaato inaan sidaas samayno. If it doesn’t let us grow biotech eggplants, waxaa laga yaabaa in ay noo ogolaato in aan beerno mid ka mid ah dalagyada biotech-ga ee uu dalkaygu u baahan yahay.”
Waxaa wax laga xumaado, Kumar iyo hal bilyan oo waddankiisa ah ayaa weli sugaya fursadan, ilaa hal sano iyo badh tan iyo markii tiirkani soo baxay.
“The Food Security Reader” waxaa u heellan Marxuum Norman Borlaug, Aabbihii Kacaanka Cagaaran iyo dhiirigelinta qof kasta oo beeraley. Dadaalkiisii ​​hormuudnimo ee uu ku horumarinayey wax-soo-saarka cuntada, Borlaug waxa uu ku guulaystay abaalmarinta nabadda ee Nobel Peace Prize.
We don’t expect “The Food Security Reader” si uu ugu guuleysto abaalmarinta Nobel Prize ee suugaanta, laakiin waxaan rajaynaynaa in ay caawin doonto Runta ku saabsan Ganacsiga & Technology follow in Borlaug’s footsteps as we confront the 21st century’s great challenge of feeding the world. Dr. Borlaug believed in a farmer’s ability to accomplish great things when given the right tools. It’s our hope that the farmer’s voices encapsulated in this book will support his vision and explain why trade and technology are necessary if we have any hope of achieving food security and environmental sustainability on our crowded and hungry planet.
Koobiyo ayaa hadda laga heli karaa at Amazon or on the Shabakadda TATT. Noqo kuwa ugu horreeya magaaladaada oo leh mid! And while you’re at it, maxaad uga fikiri weyday inaad u soo iibsato nuqul saaxiib iyo maktabad degaankaaga.
