Ukukhiqizwa kokudla emhlabeni wonke kudlula kakhulu imingcele emihlanu kweyisikhombisa yamaplanethi futhi kubhekene namaphesenti angaba ngu-30 okukhishwa kwamagesi okushisa komhlaba. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, izigidigidi zabantu azikwazi ukuthola ukudla okunempilo. Lokhu kuyimiphumela ebalulekile yombiko omusha weKhomishini ye-EAT-Lancet, lapho i-Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) yahlanganyela khona. Lo mbiko ubhekwa njengokuhlaziywa kwesayensi okuphelele kakhulu kwezinhlelo zokudla zomhlaba wonke futhi uchaza izindlela lapho ukuguqulwa kwezinhlelo zokudla ezisimeme nezilinganayo kungakhuthaza khona impilo, imvelo, kanye nobulungiswa bezenhlalo.
Ukushintshela kulokho okubizwa ngokuthi i-Planetary Health Diet kungavimbela ukufa kwabantu abangafika ezigidini ezingu-15 ngaphambi kwesikhathi minyaka yonke futhi kunciphise ukukhishwa kwegesi okuhlobene nokudla ngabantu abangaphezu kwesigamu. Umbiko uqokomisa ukuthi okwamanje abantu abangaphansi kwephesenti elilodwa emhlabeni bahlala emazweni lapho izidingo zokudla okunempilo zihlangatshezwa khona ngaphandle kokudlula imingcele yeplanethi. Ingxenye yesithathu yabantu abacebile kakhulu emhlabeni, ikakhulukazi, inesibopho semiphumela engaphezu kwamaphesenti angu-70 yezemvelo ehlobene nokudla, kuyilapho abantu abaningi emhlabeni wonke behlushwa ukungondleki kahle futhi abasebenzi bokukhiqiza ukudla bavame ukuthola imali engaphansi komholo ophilayo.
Ucwaningo lugcizelela ukuthi izinhlelo zokudla zifaka izindleko ezifihliwe ezingaba ngu-$15 trillion ngonyaka. Kodwa-ke, ushintsho lungaletha imbuyiselo yonyaka efinyelela ku-$5 trillion, okudinga ukutshalwa kwezimali okusukela ku-$200 kuya ku-$500 billion. Ngisho noma kuqedwa ngokuphelele uphethiloli, izinhlelo zokudla zodwa zingacindezela ukufudumala komhlaba ngale komgomo we-1,5-degree, kuphetha ukuhlaziywa.
Ngokusekelwe ekubunjweni kwamaqembu ocwaningo azimele ayishumi nantathu, umbiko ukhombisa ukuthi ukudla kwamanje kuvame ukuqukethe izithelo, imifino, amantongomane, ubhontshisi, kanye nokusanhlamvu okuphelele okuncane kakhulu, kuyilapho inyama, imikhiqizo yobisi, amafutha, ushukela, kanye nokudla okucutshungulwe kakhulu kusetshenziswa ngokweqile. Ukuze kwenzeke ushintsho oludingekayo, iKhomishini ibiza izinyathelo zenqubomgomo eziqondiwe ezifana nokuxhaswa kokudla okunempilo, intela emikhiqizweni engenampilo, kanye nezindlela zokuphepha zomphakathi eziqinile ukuqinisekisa ushintsho olufanele.
Lo mbiko, osekelwe emsebenzini wochwepheshe abavela emazweni angaphezu kuka-35, wakhela phezu kwemiphumela yeKhomishini ye-EAT-Lancet kusukela ngo-2019. Ucwaningo oluhambisana nalo oluvela kwi-Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), olushicilelwe kanyekanye ephephabhukwini i -Nature Sustainability , luhlola ngokuningiliziwe imiphumela yokushintshela kwi-Planetary Health Diet endaweni ephilayo.
Lo mbiko unikeza isiqondiso esicacile kubenzi bezinqubomgomo, amabhizinisi, kanye nomphakathi mayelana nendlela yokuguqula izinhlelo zokudla ukuze zisebenze ngaphakathi kwemingcele yeplanethi, zikhuthaze impilo, futhi zinciphise ukungalingani komhlaba wonke. Ukuguqulwa okunjalo akukhona nje kuphela ukuthi kungenzeka kodwa kubalulekile ukuze kube nekusasa elizinzile nelilinganayo.
