Ukubhekana nezinkinga ezikhulayo zesomiso kanye nokucekelwa phansi komhlaba, uMnyango Wezolimo waseKenya, ngokubambisana nezikhungo zamazwe ngamazwe zocwaningo lwezolimo kanye nenkampani yobuchwepheshe yaseBeijing iHonde Technology Co., LTD., bakhiphe inethiwekhi yezinzwa zenhlabathi ezihlakaniphile ezindaweni ezikhiqiza ummbila eSifundazweni saseRift Valley eKenya. Le phrojekthi isiza abalimi abancane bendawo ukuthi bakhulise ukuchelela nokuvundisa, bakhulise ukukhiqizwa kokudla futhi banciphise ukumosheka kwezinsiza ngokuqapha ngesikhathi sangempela umswakama wenhlabathi, izinga lokushisa kanye nokuqukethwe kwezakhi.
Ukuqaliswa kobuchwepheshe: kusuka elabhorethri kuya ensimini
Izinzwa zomhlabathi ezinamandla elanga ezifakiwe ngalesi sikhathi ziqhutshwa ubuchwepheshe be-IoT obunamandla aphansi futhi zingangcwatshwa ngaphansi komhlaba ngamasentimitha angama-30 ukuze ziqhubeke nokuqoqa idatha ebalulekile yomhlabathi. Izinzwa zidlulisela ulwazi kuplathifomu yamafu ngesikhathi sangempela ngamanethiwekhi eselula, futhi zihlanganise ama-algorithms obuhlakani bokwenziwa ukuze zikhiqize “iziphakamiso zokulima ezinembayo” (njengesikhathi sokunisela esingcono kakhulu, uhlobo lukamanyolo kanye nenani). Abalimi bangathola izikhumbuzi ngemiyalezo yomakhalekhukhwini noma ama-APP alula, futhi bangasebenza ngaphandle kwemishini eyengeziwe.
Esigodini saseKaptembwa esisesifundeni saseNakuru, umlimi wommbila owayehlanganyela kulo msebenzi wathi: “Esikhathini esidlule, sasithembele kokuhlangenwe nakho nemvula ukuze sitshale izitshalo. Manje umakhalekhukhwini wami ungitshela ukuthi nginisele nini nokuthi ngifake umanyolo ongakanani nsuku zonke. Isomiso salo nyaka sinzima, kodwa isivuno sommbila wami senyuke ngo-20%. Imifelandawonye yezolimo yendawo ithe abalimi abasebenzisa izinzwa bonga amanzi alinganiselwa ku-40%, banciphisa ukusetshenziswa kukamanyolo ngo-25%, futhi bathuthukisa kakhulu ukumelana nezifo zezitshalo.
Umbono Wochwepheshe: Inguquko yezolimo eqhutshwa idatha
Izikhulu zoMnyango Wezolimo Nokunisela WaseKenya zathi: “Amaphesenti angu-60 omhlaba olimekayo e-Afrika abhekene nokuwohloka kwenhlabathi, futhi izindlela zokulima ezivamile azikwazi ukusimama.” Izinzwa ezihlakaniphile azigcini nje ngokuthuthukisa ukusebenza kahle, kodwa futhi zisiza ekwenzeni imigomo yesifunda yokubuyisela inhlabathi.” Usosayensi wenhlabathi we-International Institute of Tropical Agriculture wanezela: “Lokhu kwaziswa kuzosetshenziselwa ukudweba imephu yokuqala yaseKenya yezempilo yomhlabathi enesinqumo esiphezulu, enikeza isisekelo sesayensi sezolimo ezikwazi ukumelana nesimo sezulu.”
Izinselelo nezinhlelo zesikhathi esizayo
Naphezu kwamathemba abanzi, iphrojekthi isabhekene nezinselele: ukufakwa kwenethiwekhi kwezinye izindawo ezikude akuzinzile, futhi abalimi asebekhulile banokwamukelwa okuphansi kwamathuluzi edijithali. Kuze kube manje, ozakwethu bathuthukise imisebenzi yokugcina idatha ungaxhunyiwe ku-inthanethi futhi babambisana nosomabhizinisi abancane bendawo ukuze benze ukuqeqeshwa emkhakheni. Eminyakeni emibili ezayo, inethiwekhi ihlela ukwanda iye ezifundeni ezingu-10 entshonalanga nasempumalanga yeKenya, futhi kancane kancane idlulele e-Uganda, eTanzania nakwamanye amazwe aseMpumalanga Afrika.
