Ukuze kuthuthukiswe ukusebenza kahle kwemikhiqizo yezolimo futhi kubhekane nezinselele ezilethwa ukuguquka kwesimo sezulu, uMnyango Wezolimo wasePhilippines usanda kumemezela ukufakwa kweziteshi zezulu zezolimo ezintsha ezweni lonke. Lo mkhankaso uhlose ukunikeza abalimi idatha yesimo sezulu enembile ukuze babasize bahlele kangcono izikhathi zokutshala nokuvuna, ngaleyo ndlela banciphise ukulahlekelwa okubangelwa isimo sezulu esibi kakhulu.
Kubikwa ukuthi lezi ziteshi zesimo sezulu zizohlonyiswa ngezinzwa ezithuthukisiwe kanye nezinhlelo zokudlulisa idatha, ezingaqapha izinkomba ezibalulekile zesimo sezulu njengokushisa, umswakama, imvula, isivinini somoya, njll. ngesikhathi sangempela. Idatha izokwabelwana ngayo ngesikhathi sangempela ngepulatifomu yamafu, futhi abalimi bangayibuka nganoma yisiphi isikhathi ngezinhlelo zokusebenza zeselula noma amawebhusayithi ukuze benze izinqumo zesayensi zezolimo.
UWilliam Dar, uNobhala Wezolimo wasePhilippines, uthe emcimbini wokwethulwa: “Iziteshi zezulu zezolimo ziyingxenye ebalulekile yezolimo zanamuhla. Ngokunikeza ulwazi olunembile lwezezulu, singasiza abalimi ukunciphisa izingozi, sandise umkhiqizo, futhi ekugcineni sifinyelele intuthuko yezolimo esimeme.” Uphinde wagcizelela ukuthi lo msebenzi uyingxenye yohlelo lukahulumeni “lwezolimo oluhlakaniphile” futhi uzokwandisa kakhulu ukumbozwa kwawo esikhathini esizayo.
Eminye yemishini eseziteshini zesimo sezulu efakiwe kulokhu isebenzisa ubuchwepheshe bamuva be-Internet of Things (IoT), obungalungisa ngokuzenzakalelayo imvamisa yokuqapha futhi bukhiphe izixwayiso lapho kutholakala isimo sezulu esingavamile. Lesi sici sithandwa kakhulu phakathi kwabalimi, ngoba iPhilippines ivame ukuthintwa isimo sezulu esibi kakhulu njengezivunguvungu kanye nesomiso. Isexwayiso kusenesikhathi singabasiza ukuthi bathathe izinyathelo ezisheshayo zokunciphisa ukulahlekelwa.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, uhulumeni wasePhilippines ubambisene nezinhlangano eziningi zamazwe ngamazwe ukwethula ubuchwepheshe obuthuthukisiwe bokuqapha isimo sezulu. Isibonelo, lo msebenzi uhlolwe ngempumelelo eLuzon naseMindanao, futhi uzokhuthazwa ezweni lonke esikhathini esizayo.
Abahlaziyi baveze ukuthi ukuthandwa kweziteshi zezulu zezolimo ngeke kusize nje kuphela ekuthuthukiseni ukusebenza kahle komkhiqizo wezolimo, kodwa futhi kuzohlinzeka ngokusekelwa kwedatha kuhulumeni ukuze akhe izinqubomgomo zezolimo. Njengoba ukuguquka kwesimo sezulu kukhula, idatha yezulu enembile izoba yinto ebalulekile ekuthuthukisweni kwezolimo.
Usihlalo we-Philippine Farmers' Union uthe: “Lezi ziteshi zesimo sezulu zifana ‘nabasizi bethu besimo sezulu’, okusenza sikwazi ukubhekana kangcono nezinguquko zesimo sezulu ezingalindelekile. Sibheke phambili kulo msebenzi ohlanganisa izindawo eziningi futhi uzuzise abalimi abaningi ngokushesha okukhulu.”
Njengamanje, uhulumeni wasePhilippines uhlela ukufaka iziteshi zezulu zezolimo ezingaphezu kuka-500 eminyakeni emithathu ezayo, ezimboza izindawo ezinkulu zokukhiqiza ezolimo ezweni lonke. Lokhu kulindeleke ukuthi kufake amandla amasha kwezolimo zasePhilippines futhi kusize izwe lifeze imigomo yalo yokuvikeleka kokudla kanye nokuthuthukiswa kwezolimo.
