UNdunankulu waseCanada uMark Carney wethule isu lokuqala lezwe leNational Food Security Strategy, uhlelo lweminyaka eyishumi olusekelwa yimali engaphezu kwe-CAD 3 billion (cishe amaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-2.1).
Uhulumeni wobumbano uthe leli cebo lenzelwe ukubhekana nokwenyuka kwezindleko zokudla, ubuthakathaka be-supply chain kanye nokucindezeleka okukhulayo ezinhlelweni zokudla okuhlobene nokuphazamiseka kokuhweba komhlaba, ukungezwani kwezepolitiki kanye nokushintsha kwesimo sezulu.
Ngokusho kukahulumeni, iCanada isalokhu ingenye yabathengisi bokudla kwezolimo abakhulu emhlabeni, kodwa abathengi bayaqhubeka nokubhekana namanani aphezulu okudla phakathi kwezizwe ze-G7. Izikhulu ziphinde zagqamisa ukukhathazeka mayelana nokuncintisana okulinganiselwe emkhakheni wokuthengisa ukudla kanye nokuthembela ngokweqile kubaphakeli bangaphandle.
Isu lakhiwe ngezinto ezine eziza kuqala: ukwandisa ukuncintisana kwezitolo zokudla, ukwandisa ukukhiqizwa kokudla kwasekhaya, ukukhulisa ukukhiqizwa kwezithelo nemifino unyaka wonke kanye nokunciphisa izithiyo zomthetho kulo lonke uchungechunge lokuhlinzekwa kwezolimo.
Njengengxenye yemizamo yokuthuthukisa ukuncintisana, uhulumeni uzotshala imali eyi-CAD eyizigidigidi eziyi-1 (cishe amaRandi ayizigidi ezingu-715) engqalasizinda yokudla, okuhlanganisa nezindawo zokudla ezintsha nezandisiwe kanye nezindawo zokusabalalisa ezihloselwe ukusiza abathengisi abazimele ukuthi bafinyelele imikhiqizo enentengo encintisanayo ngaphandle kokuthembela ezinhlanganweni ezinkulu zokuthengisa.
Uhulumeni uzophinde anikeze cishe i-CAD eyizigidi eziyi-130 (cishe amaRandi ayizigidi ezingama-93) kwi-Competition Bureau kanye ne-Competition Tribunal ukuze kuqiniswe uphenyo ngemikhuba yokulwa nokuncintisana.
Ukuze kusekelwe ukukhiqizwa kokudla kwasekhaya, iCanada izosungula i-CAD 1 billion Agri-food Project Finance Fund entsha nge-Farm Credit Canada, enikeza amabhizinisi afuna ukwandisa amandla okucubungula ukudla.
Esinye isikhwama Sokuphepha Kokudla esiyi-CAD eyizigidi ezingu-150 (cishe u-$107 million) sizosiza amabhizinisi amancane naphakathi ukuthuthukisa imishini esetshenziselwa ukukhulisa, ukukhiqiza nokucubungula ukudla, kanti isikhwama Sokusungula Ukudla Esibambisene esiyi-CAD eyizigidi ezingu-100 (cishe u-$71.5 million) sizosekela ukwanda kwemisebenzi yokucubungula ukudla kwezolimo.
Isu lihlanganisa nokutshalwa kwezimali kwe-CAD eyizigidi ezingu-750 (cishe amaRandi ayizigidi ezingu-536) ukwandisa ukukhiqizwa kwezithelo nemifino unyaka wonke ngokusebenzisa izindawo zokugcina izitshalo, amapulazi aqondile kanye nezinye izinhlelo zezolimo ezilawulwayo.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, uhulumeni uhlela ukwenza imithetho yezolimo ibe yesimanje, ukusheshisa ukuvunyelwa kwembewu, ukudla okuphakelayo, umanyolo kanye nemikhiqizo yezilwane, kanye nokunciphisa imithwalo yokuphatha kubalimi kanye nabakhiqizi bokudla.
Kuzophinde kwethulwe izinyathelo zokusiza amabhizinisi okudla anelayisensi yesifundazwe ukuthi ahlangabezane kalula nezidingo zikahulumeni futhi athengise imikhiqizo ngaphesheya kwemingcele yesifundazwe neyendawo.
UCarney uthe: “ICanada ingenye yabakhiqizi bokudla abakhulu emhlabeni. Kodwa okuningi kwalokho esikulimayo kuyacutshungulwa kwezinye izindawo, futhi abantu baseCanada abaningi basathembele ekudleni okungeniswe kwamanye amazwe ngamanani aphezulu. Abalimi baseCanada bafanelwe izinketho eziningi zokuthengisa imikhiqizo yabo, kanti abantu baseCanada bafanelwe izinketho eziningi zokuthi bangathenga kuphi ukudla kwabo.”
"Isu Lokuphepha Kokudla Likazwelonke lokuqala ngqa eCanada lizosiza ekukhuleni nasekucubunguleni ukudla okwengeziwe lapha futhi lifake iCanada eningi ezingeni laseCanada - ukwehlisa izindleko, ukudala imisebenzi nokwakha uhlelo lokudla oluqinile, oluncintisana kakhulu, futhi olungolwethu kakhulu."
UHeath MacDonald, ungqongqoshe wezolimo nokudla kwezolimo waseCanada, wanezela: “Isu Likazwelonke Lokuphepha Kokudla limayelana nokunikeza abantu baseCanada ukukhetha okukhulu, ukulawula kanye nokufinyelela ekudleni okungabizi, okukhiqizwe endaweni. Ngale ndlela eyenziwe eCanada, sizocubungula okuningi kwalokho abalimi bethu abakulimayo lapha ekhaya, sidale imisebenzi, siqhubekisele phambili ukukhula komnotho kanye nokuqinisa ukuzimela kokudla eCanada.”
"Ngokunciphisa imithetho eqinile nokusiza amabhizinisi amasha ukuthi aqalise amaphrojekthi ngokushesha, sizovula amathuba amasha kubalimi, abakhiqizi bokudla kanye nosomabhizinisi emkhakheni wezolimo."
Kanye naleli cebo, uhulumeni umemezele izinyathelo ezengeziwe zokusekela ukuthengeka kokudla kanye nemikhiqizo yasekhaya, okuhlanganisa i-CAD 20 million (cishe amaRandi ayizigidi ezingu-14.3) yamabhange okudla kanye nezinhlangano zokudla zomphakathi, ukukhululwa kwentela kwentuthuko entsha noma eyandisiwe yezindawo zokugcina izithombo, ukwesekwa okuvuselelwe komkhakha wezokudoba waseCanada kanye nezinguquko ohlelweni lwe-Nutrition North Canada oluhlose ukuthuthukisa ukutholakala kokudla kanye nokuthengeka emiphakathini esenyakatho.
