ʻAʻole lawa ka hoʻoulu wale ʻana i kāu ʻai ponoʻī; ʻO ka hana mua, ʻo ia ka hoʻolālā ʻana i nā meaʻai hiki ke ulu i kahi ʻano loli, e hoʻomaka me ka hōʻiliʻili hua a me nā makahiki o ka hoʻololi ʻana.
"ʻAʻole wale ka poʻe e hoʻomaka e aʻo hou e pili ana i ka mea e ulu nei i kā lākou meaʻai, akā ke hoʻomaka nei lākou e hoʻomaopopo i nā ʻanoʻano e kūpaʻa i ka hoʻololi ʻana i ke aniau hiki ʻole ke pale aku," wahi a Laura Allard, ka luna hana no ka MASA Seed Fund ma Boulder.
ʻO Allard lāua ʻo Rich Pecoraro, ka mea nāna i hoʻokumu i ka papahana hua MASA a lawelawe ʻo ia ma ke ʻano he alakaʻi o ka mahiʻai, hoʻokele pū i ke kahua, nāna e mālama i nā ʻeka 24 o ka ʻāina mahiʻai ma ka hikina o Boulder a puni ka makahiki. ʻO ka pahuhopu o ke kahua ʻo ka ulu ʻana i nā ʻanoʻano organik ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana o ka waihona kumulāʻau bioregional.
Ke hui pū nei ka MASA Seed Fund me ka Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology ma ke Kulanui o Colorado Boulder. "He mea kupanaha ka ʻike ʻana i ke koʻikoʻi o kēia mau ʻano o ka biology ma kahi mahiʻai e like me kēia," wahi a Nolan Kane, he kumu aʻoaʻo ma ke kulanui. "Ke hana pū nei ʻo CU me MASA e hana i ka noiʻi ʻana i ka mahiʻai, me ka mahiʻai hoʻomau, genetics, a me ka biology mea kanu. Ke aʻo ʻana.”
Ua wehewehe ʻo Kane e loaʻa i kāna mau haumāna ka manawa e ʻike mua ai i ke kaʻina o ke koho ʻana a me ka mahi ʻana i nā mea kanu, a me ke ʻano o ka mālama ʻia ʻana o nā haʻawina biology lumi papa ma kahi mahiʻai maoli.
Manaʻo ka poʻe kipa i ka MASA ma Boulder hikina e like me ka hoʻomanaʻo ʻana i nā mahiʻai kokoke, kahi e hiki ai iā lākou ke kiʻi i nā kauoha Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) a i ʻole ke kū ʻana ma nā hale mahiʻai ʻole no ke kūʻai ʻana i nā hua o ka wā: ka ʻōpala, nā melon, nā chiles ʻōmaʻomaʻo, nā pua, a me nā mea hou aku. . ʻO ka mea i hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ʻo ia ka loko o ka hale mahiʻai ʻaʻahu keʻokeʻo ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka mahiʻai: i loko he hale kūʻai hua me nā ipu i hoʻopiha ʻia me nā kulina waihoʻoluʻu, nā pīni, nā mea kanu, nā pua, nā ʻōpala, nā pepa, a me nā kīʻaha. ʻO kahi lumi liʻiliʻi e hōʻike ana i nā barela nui i hoʻopiha ʻia me nā hua, i hōʻiliʻili ʻia i nā makahiki.
"He mea koʻikoʻi ka hana a MASA i ke kākoʻo ʻana i nā māla kūloko a me nā mahiʻai," wahi a Kane. "Ke nānā aku nei ʻo Rich a me ke koena o nā limahana o MASA i ka hoʻololi ʻana i nā mea kanu i ko mākou ʻāina kūʻokoʻa a me ka hāʻawi ʻana i nā hua a me nā mea kanu kūpono no ka ulu ʻana ma ʻaneʻi."
ʻO ka adaptability, wehewehe ʻo ia, ʻo ia ka mea hiki ke hōʻiliʻili ʻia nā hua mai nā mea kanu e ulu ana i ka ea maloʻo, nā makani kiʻekiʻe, nā kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe, nā lepo lepo a me nā kūlana kikoʻī ʻē aʻe, e like me ke kūʻē ʻana i nā iniseti a me nā maʻi. "I ka hopena, e hoʻonui kēia i ka hana meaʻai kūloko, palekana meaʻai a me ka maikaʻi o ka meaʻai, a hoʻomaikaʻi i ka ʻoihana mahiʻai kūloko," wehewehe ʻo Kane.
E like me nā mahiʻai ʻē aʻe i wehe ʻia i ka lehulehu, hoʻokipa kēia mahiʻai hua i nā mea manawaleʻa e kōkua i ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana i ka hana (me ke kula a me ka hana hoʻokele) a aʻo hou e pili ana i ka hoʻohua ʻana.
"I ka wā kanu hua, loaʻa iā mākou nā mea manawaleʻa e hoʻomaʻemaʻe a hoʻopaʻa i nā hua mai Nowemapa a Pepeluali," wahi a Allard. "I ka pūnāwai, pono mākou i ke kōkua i ka nursery me ka lūlū, ka lahilahi a me ka wai. E loaʻa iā mākou kahi hoʻopaʻa inoa pūnaewele ma ka hopena o ʻApelila i hiki ai iā mākou ke loaʻa i kahi hui o nā poʻe e kanu ana, weeding a mahiʻai a puni ke kauwela.
ʻOiaʻiʻo, e like me kēlā me kēia mahiʻai, ʻo ka hāʻule ka manawa o ka ʻohi ʻana a hiki i nā mea manawaleʻa ke hele mai e hana.
He keʻena pua ka hoʻokumu a makemake i nā mea manawaleʻa e hoʻonohonoho i nā bouquets a kau i nā pua e maloʻo a hiki i ka hōʻiliʻili ʻana o nā hua. Hoʻokipa pū lākou i nā poʻe me nā mākau hoʻokele e kōkua me ka pāpaho kaiaulu a me nā hana kūʻai.
Inā ʻaʻohe ou manawa e hāʻawi manawaleʻa, mālama ka waiwai i nā pō pizza a me nā pāʻina mahiʻai i ke kauwela, kahi e hiki ai i nā malihini ke aʻo hou aku e pili ana i ka ʻohi ʻana i nā hua, ka ulu ʻana a me ka hoʻololi ʻana i meaʻai. Kiʻi pinepine ʻia ka mahiʻai e nā keiki kula o ka ʻāina, a hāʻawi ʻia kekahi o nā hua o ka mahiʻai i nā waihona meaʻai kokoke.
Ua kapa ʻia ʻo MASA he papahana "farm to food bank" e hana pū ana me nā kaiāulu haʻahaʻa ma ia wahi e hāʻawi iā lākou i "meaʻai momona."
ʻAʻole kēia wale nō ka mahiʻai hua ma Colorado, aia kekahi mau waihona hua ʻē aʻe e hōʻiliʻili a mālama i nā mea kanu e pili ana i ke aniau o ko lākou mau wahi.
ʻO Wild Mountain Seeds, i hoʻokumu ʻia ma Sunfire Ranch ma Carbondale, ʻike loea i nā hua e ulu ana i nā kūlana alpine. E like me MASA, loaʻa kā lākou mau hua ma ka pūnaewele no laila hiki i nā māla o hope ke hoʻāʻo e ulu i nā ʻano heirloom o nā ʻōmato, pīni, melons, a me nā mea kanu.
Hoʻoulu ʻo Pueblo Seed & Feed Co. ma Cortez i "nā hua kanu i hoʻopaʻa ʻia, open-pollinated" i koho ʻia ʻaʻole wale no ka hoʻomanawanui maloʻo akā no ka ʻono nui. Ua hoʻokumu ʻia ka hui ma Pueblo a hiki i kona neʻe ʻana i 2021. Hāʻawi ka mahiʻai i nā hua i kēlā me kēia makahiki i ka Traditional Indian Farmers Association.
Hoʻoulu ʻo High Desert Seed + Gardens ma Paonia i nā ʻanoʻano kūpono i ka piʻi ʻana o ka wao nahele kiʻekiʻe a kūʻai aku iā lākou i loko o nā ʻeke ma ka pūnaewele, me ka High Desert Quinoa, Rainbow Blue Corn, Hopi Red Dye Amaranth a me Italian Mountain Basil.
ʻO ke kī i ka holomua o ka mahiʻai ʻana, ʻo ia ke ahonui, wahi a Allard, no ka mea, pono kēia poʻe mahiʻai e koho i ka maikaʻi o ka meaʻai a lākou e makemake ai. "No ka laʻana, ma kahi o ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā kemika, kanu mākou i nā mea kanu hoa i mea e huki ai nā iniseti a i ʻole nā pests i nā marigolds ma mua o nā tōmato," wahi āna.
Hoʻāʻo nui ʻo Allard me 65 mau ʻano letus, e ʻohi ana i nā mea maloʻo ʻole i ka wela - he laʻana o ke koho ʻana a ulu ʻia nā mea kanu no nā hua e hiki mai ana.
Hāʻawi ʻo MASA a me nā māla hua ʻē aʻe ma Colorado i nā papa no ka poʻe makemake e aʻo hou e pili ana i nā ʻanoano kūpaʻa i ke aniau hiki iā lākou ke ulu ma ka home, a hāʻawi iā lākou i ka manawa e kipa aku ai i kā lākou mau mahiʻai a kōkua iā lākou i kēia hana koʻikoʻi.
“Aia nā mākua i kēlā 'aha!' ka manawa e kipa ai kā lākou mau keiki i kahi mahiʻai a hauʻoli i ka wā e hiki mai ana o ka ʻōnaehana meaʻai kūloko, "wahi a Allard. "He hoʻonaʻauao mua ia no lākou."
E kākau inoa no kā mākou leka meaʻai Stuffed hou no ka lawe ʻana i ka nūhou Denver meaʻai a inu i kāu pahu leka uila.
