New energy plan floats options for new coal and huge nuclear power rollout by 2050 -The IRP 2023 also makes it clear SA will continue to experience electricity supply shortages at least until 2027 unless there is a “significant” improvement in the performance of Eskom’s coal-fired power plants. The IRP 2023 provides energy mix scenarios for the period up to 2030 and a second period up to 2050. For both periods, one of the biggest risks is Eskom plant performance which, as the IRP 2023 shows, has deteriorated from an energy availability factor (EAF) — this shows actual generation performance as a percentage of total installed capacity — of about 85% in 2010 to about 55% in 2023.
Die lokoprys vir die versending van goedere in ’n 40-voet-houer van Asië na Noord-Europa is nou meer as $4 000, ’n styging van 173% van net voor die herleidings in middel Desember begin het. Die koste vir goedere van Asië na die Middellandse See het tot $5 175 gestyg, het Freightos gesê, en bygevoeg dat sommige vervoerders pryse hoër as $6 000 aangekondig het vir hierdie roete wat in die middel van Januarie begin. Tariewe van Asië tot aan Noord-Amerika se ooskus het met 55% gestyg tot $3 900 vir ’n 40-voet-houer. Die IMF het die Rooisee ’n “sistemies belangrike” skeepsbaan genoem wat meer as 19 000 vaartuie per jaar hanteer. Namate al hoe minder vragskepe die roete kan benut, en net sommige om die Kaap die Goeie Hoop herlei kan word weens die bykomende 6 000 seemyl wat dié roete verg, raak pryse net hoër en hoër.
Whole Foods Market of Austin, Texas, US, listed buckwheat among its top 10 trends for 2024. It contains protein, carbohydrates and fiber — but no gluten — and may be used in applications ranging from plant-based milk alternatives to crackers and granola, according to Whole Foods Market. Soba noodles may contain buckwheat, too. A survey this year from the Whole Grains Council of Boston, Massachusetts, US, found 27% of respondents said they had eaten buckwheat, which was up from 23% in a 2021 survey. More than 60% said they had heard of buckwheat, which compared with oats at over 80% and quinoa at over 70%.
Die departement van water en sanitasie in Suid Afrika stel sekere omstrede wysigings aan die Nasionale Waterwet voor wat verreikende gevolge vir boere kan inhou. Van die voorgestelde wysigings aan die Nasionale Waterwet (Wet 36 van 1998) word deur kenners as onuitvoerbaar en ongrondwetlik bestempel, en kan selfs op onteiening neerkom. Dit sluit in dat die staat klaarblyklik voortgaan met sy strewe om ’n einde te bring aan die verhandeling van waterregte, al het hy al hieroor in die Grondwethof bloedneus gekry. Verder wil die staat ras en geslag die belangrikste kriteria maak om ’n waterlisensie te kry – nóg ’n aspek waaroor hy vantevore ’n hofsaak verloor het.

Lokopryse vir houerverskeping tussen Asië, Europa en die VSA het vandeesweek weens die Rooisee-krisis die hoogte ingeskiet.

Enige boer in Suid-Afrika se uitdagings is maar klimaat en reënval. Hier spesifiek is gereelde reënval noodsaaklik vir weidings. Brandstof- en kunsmispryse wat aanhoudend styg. Die kragvoer wat die koeie in die stalle vreet, se pryse skiet op. En dan begin Eskom 'n enorme rol speel – die koste van krag en hulle onbetroubaarheid.”
Dis moontlik dat Suid-Afrika se grootskaalse boerderypraktyke ’n paar van die groot gevare van Amerikaanse gif- en bemestingspraktyke oorgeslaan het, maar ek dink daar is steeds ’n groot kans vir skrikke en spyte oor wat die toekoms se verstaan van gesonde boerdery en menslike gesondheid inhou.
