Isizwe saseMandan, Hidatsa, kanye ne-Arikara eNyakatho Dakota sivuselela izimpande zaso zezolimo ngendawo ebamba ukushisa, esizoba ngesinye esikhulu kunazo zonke e-United States. Njengoba kwabikwa uJack Dura, lesi sinyathelo sihlose ukutshala imifino enamaqabunga, utamatisi, nama-strawberry, okuvumela isizwe ukuba sizuze ubukhosi obukhulu bokudla emashumini eminyaka ngemuva kokuba izindawo zabo ezivundile zigcwele amanzi ngokwakhiwa kweDamu laseGarrison. Isigaba sokuqala salolu hlelo, esibiza amaRandi ayizigidi ezingu-76, sihlanganisa indawo yokushisa engamahektha angu-3.3 kanye nezindawo ezengeziwe, nezinhlelo zokunwetshwa zibe amahektha angu-14.5, okuzothuthukisa kakhulu amandla esizwe okukhiqiza umkhiqizo omusha.
Le phrojekthi ye-greenhouse iyingxenye yomnyakazo obanzi wokukhulisa ubukhosi bokudla phakathi kwezizwe zaboMdabu baseMelika, okugqugquzelwa ukuphazamiseka kokuhlinzekwa kwempahla ngesikhathi sodlame lwe-COVID-19. Ngokutshala imali ezinhlelweni zokudla zasendaweni, izizwe ezweni lonke zibuyisela ikhono lazo lokondla imiphakathi yazo ngokuzimela. I-Mandan, Hidatsa, kanye ne-Arikara Nation's greenhouse izosekela izakhamuzi zase-Fort Berthold Indian Reservation's 8,300 futhi inikeze umkhiqizo kwamanye amabhange okubhuka nokudla ezindaweni ezingazodwa. Lo msebenzi kulindeleke ukuthi udale amathuba emisebenzi angama-30 kuye kwangama-35 ekuqaleni, okuhloswe ngawo ukukhiqiza ukudla okungafika kumakhilogremu ayizigidi eziyi-15 ngonyaka.
Isici esibalulekile salolu hlelo ukusetshenziswa kwemithombo yegesi yemvelo evela endaweni kawoyela yaseBakken yaseNyakatho Dakota. Lesi sizwe sihlela ukuthwebula nokucindezela igesi yemvelo, evame ukuvutha, ukuze kushiswe futhi kunikwe amandla indawo ebamba ukushisa futhi kukhiqizwe umanyolo, kubhekwane nokukhathazeka kwemvelo kanye nokunciphisa imfucuza. Le phrojekthi ayigcini nje ngokuxhumanisa isizwe namagugu aso ezolimo kodwa futhi isebenzisa izinsiza zesimanje ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukukhiqizwa kokudla okusimeme nokuzimele kwekusasa.
