Ang aming Pakikipagtulungan sa mga Lokal na Magsasaka<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Pangalawang Harvest ng Silicon Valley ang misyon ay wakasan ang kagutuman sa ating komunidad. Ngunit ang aming trabaho ay gumagawa din ng malaking epekto sa kapaligiran. Noong nakaraang taon, ang Second Harvest ay nagligtas ng higit sa 93 milyong libra ng sariwa, mataas na kalidad na pagkain, kabilang ang ani, pagawaan ng gatas at protina. Sa pamamagitan ng pagbawi ng pagkaing ito \u2014 na maaaring nasayang sa mga bukid o itinapon ng mga tindahan \u2014 tinutulungan naming matiyak na ang masustansyang pagkain ay makakarating sa mga nangangailangan sa halip na masayang. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bilang karagdagan sa aming gawaing pagliligtas sa pagkain, pinipigilan ng Second Harvest ang pagkain na masayang sa ibang mga paraan. Sa 127 milyong libra ng pagkain na ipinamahagi namin sa komunidad noong nakaraang taon, 2.3% lang ang hindi nakakatugon sa aming mga pamantayan sa pagkontrol sa kalidad \u2014 at kahit iyon ay nagamit nang mabuti! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mula noong 2010, nakipagsosyo ang Second Harvest sa dalawang small-scale animal farm, na nagbibigay sa kanila ng aming hindi nagagamit na sobrang ani nang walang bayad. Ginagamit ng mga magsasaka ang pagkaing ito upang pakainin ang kanilang mga baka, kabayo, manok, kambing, baboy at itik. Ang hindi ginagamit ng dalawang sakahan ay napupunta sa Mission Trail Waste Systems, na ginagawang pagkain ng hog at organic liquid fertilizer ang mga itinapon na pagkain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sino ang gumagamit ng aming sobrang pagkain?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Sina Joe at Jorge ay dalawang magsasaka at magkaibigan ng San Jose na kasosyo sa Second Harvest upang gawing pagkain ang pagkain na kung hindi man ay mauubos sa pagkain ng kanilang mga baka at iba pang mga hayop. Ang dalawang magkaibigan ay kumukuha mula sa Second Harvest sa loob ng halos 15 taon, na ginagawang mahalagang pagkain ng hayop ang hindi nagamit na pagkain. Ang napapanatiling pakikipagsosyo na ito ay nakakatipid sa kanila ng libu-libong dolyar taun-taon sa mga gastos sa hay at naprosesong pagkain ng hayop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\nAng mga magsasaka ay dumating bago ang pagsikat ng araw, kaya ang pagkain ay hindi naluluto sa mainit na araw sa tanghali at nabubulok. Anumang mga bin na hindi napupulot sa umaga ay pumunta sa pasilidad ng pag-compost ng Mission Trail. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nSinusuri ni Jorge ang isang compost bin ng bell peppers. "Nagretiro ako sa 58 mula sa drywall at mayroon akong bukid na ito. Talagang nag-e-enjoy ako. Inaalis ako nito sa bahay. Gumising ako ng 4 am ng umaga at pagsapit ng 5 am ay nasa food bank na ako. I love it."<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nSi Joe ay may 30 Black Angus na baka na pinapakain niya ng mga ani na nakuhang muli mula sa Second Harvest, kasama ng hay, alfalfa at hop. "Kung hindi kami kumuha ng mga prutas at gulay mula sa iyo, ang aming mga hayop ay hindi kumakain ng prutas at gulay. Ang aking mga baka ay mataba dahil sa Pangalawang Ani." Tinatantya ni Joe na kung wala ang ani mula sa Second Harvest, gagastos siya ng $7,000-$8,000 pa sa hay bawat taon.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nBinili ni Jorge ang kanyang sakahan sa San Jose noong 2005 at nag-aalaga ng baka, kabayo, manok, kambing, baboy at itik. \u201cNapakamahal ng pagpapakain ng mga hayop at nakakatipid ako ng malaki sa pagkain ng Second Harvest.\u201d<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nSa oras na ang mga basurahan ay load<\/strong> papunta sa mga flatbed truck ng mga magsasaka, ang araw ay sumisilip sa abot-tanaw at ang langit ay nagiging kulay-rosas mula sa itim. "Nakakuha ako ng 19 na basurahan kahapon, ngunit hindi palaging ganoon kadami ang mga basurahan araw-araw," sabi ni Joe. "Minsan kumukuha ako ng dalawa, minsan 10."<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nSina Joe at Jorge ay nagsasaka para sa pagmamahal nito. Ang pagsasaka ay bahagi ng kanilang pamana sa Portuges, at marami pa rin sa mga miyembro ng kanilang pamilya ang nagsasaka hanggang ngayon.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Sino ang kumakain ng labis na ani? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure>
\n
MGA BAKA<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bumalik sa bukid, kapag umikot ang traktor upang ilipat ang mga compost bin mula sa mga flatbed na trak at papunta sa mga bukid, naririnig ng mga baka ang motor at tumatakbo. Nasasabik sila sa kung ano ang nasa tindahan: carrots, squash, mansanas, kamote, sibuyas, repolyo \u2013 gusto nila ang lahat. Alam ni Jorge na nasasabik sila dahil naghihintay sila sa kanya, umuungol at humalakhak. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Kukunin nina Joe at Jorge ang halos lahat ng ani na makukuha sa bakuran maliban sa mga prutas na sitrus. Ipinaliwanag ni Joe kung paano niya pinangangasiwaan ang citrus sa pinaghalong compost bins: "Ang mga baka ay hindi gusto ng citrus. Ngunit kung minsan ay sumasama ito sa mga gulay sa mga compost bins na ito. Kaya, ang ginagawa ko ay kumukuha ako ng citrus, at itinatapon ko ito sa lupa, at tinapakan ito ng mga baka. Hindi nila ito kakainin, ngunit kapag natapakan nila ito, nakukuha mo ang hangin sa halip na sitrus ang amoy sa aking kapitbahay. Ang citrus ay natural na nagiging compost dito." <\/p>\n<\/div><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
MGA KABAYO<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>
\n
Si Pintu ang isang hayop na iniingatan ni Jorge sa paglipas ng mga taon dahil gustung-gusto niyang magkaroon siya. Ang iba pang mga kabayo ay dumarating at pumunta sa kanyang sakahan, ngunit narito si Pintu upang kumain ng meryenda at magbigay ng hindi nakatakdang pagsakay sa mga bata sa pamilya ni Jorge. Gustung-gusto ni Pintu ang mga karot at mansanas ng Second Harvest. Nakakakuha siya ng dalawa hanggang tatlong mansanas sa isang araw para sa mga treat, bukod pa sa regular na pagkain ng alfalfa at hay. <\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
MGA MANOK <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Si Jorge ay nag-iingat ng mga manok para sa mga itlog. Para patuloy silang magproduce, pinapakain sila ni Jorge ng tuluy-tuloy na pagkain ng manok at mga scrap ng pagkain sa Second Harvest ng mga pakwan, mansanas at mais. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
MGA KAMBING<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nagsimula si Jorge sa isang dakot na kambing sa kanyang sakahan at mabilis na natutunan na kung papakainin mo sila at aalagaan, sila ay dadami! <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
"Kapag nagmamay-ari ka ng mga kambing," tumawa si Jorge, "isang araw ay maaari kang magkaroon ng lima at sa susunod na araw ay maaari kang magkaroon ng 15! At mayroon lang akong isang lalaking kambing. Hindi siya nag-aaksaya ng oras!" <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ang mga kambing ay kumakain ng maraming dayami, mga palumpong at mga dahon ng puno sa ari-arian, at mahilig sila sa prutas, karot at repolyo ng Pangalawang Ani. Sinabi ni Jorge ang kanyang mga kambing lalo na tulad ng mga mansanas (nakalarawan sa itaas) at mga plum. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
MGA BABOY<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sa kabila ng popular na paniniwala, ang mga baboy ay hindi kumakain ng lahat. Sa paglipas ng mga taon, natutunan ni Jorge na gusto nila lalo na ang squash, cucumber, pakwan, brown rice at gatas. Sinabi ni Jorge na "nabaliw sila sa gatas!" Ang mga baboy ay nangangailangan ng butil para sa balanseng diyeta at masaya si Jorge na bigyan sila ng brown rice kapag ito ay available. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
MGA ITIK<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n
\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
Sa nakalipas na ilang linggo, nakatanggap si Jorge ng mahigit sa dalawang dosenang libreng pato, ngunit inamin niya na siya ay isang baguhan na may-ari ng pato. Nang tanungin kung ano ang gagawin niya sa mga itik, sinabi niya, "Sa ngayon, wala akong ginagawa. Pakainin mo lang sila." <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ang mga duck na ito ay kumakain ng lahat ng ani, lalo na ang mga mansanas, repolyo at mais. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iyong Epekto <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Ang Second Harvest ay nagpapasalamat sa mga lokal na magsasaka tulad nina Joe at Jorge na sabik na gamitin ang maliit na bahagi ng aming pagkain na hindi maipamahagi sa aming komunidad. Sa pamamagitan ng paggamit ng pagkain na ito, tinutulungan nina Joe at Jorge ang Second Harvest na makahanap ng mga napapanatiling alternatibo sa basura ng pagkain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ang kahanga-hangang pagsisikap na ito ay ginawang posible ng mga mapagbigay na donor, kasosyo at boluntaryo na sumusuporta sa aming lokal na sistema ng pagkain. Ang suportang ito ay nagpapahintulot sa amin na i-maximize ang aming food rescue program at mapangalagaan ang aming mga kapitbahay na nahaharap sa gutom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
