Nā ngā whanaketanga hou o te mahi whakaputa me te pūtaiao kai, kua taea e te pakihi ahuwhenua te hanga huarahi hou hei whakatipu kai, hei kawe tere atu hoki ki ngā wāhi maha. Kāore he hapa o ngā purongo mō ngā rau mano o ngā heihei ranu – he rite tonu te ira o ia kararehe ki tētahi atu – ka tākaihia ki roto i ngā whare nui, ka whakatipuria i roto i ngā marama torutoru, kātahi ka patua, ka tukatukahia, ka tukuna ki tērā taha o te ao. Kāore i te tino mōhiotia ngā mate kino e whakarerekē ana i roto, e puta mai ana hoki i roto i ēnei taiao ahuwhenua motuhake. Inaa, he maha ngā mate hou tino morearea i roto i te tangata ka taea te whai i ngā pūnaha kai pēnei, tae atu ki te Campylobacter, te huaketo Nipah, te kirika Q, te hepatitis E, me ngā momo rewharewha hou.
Kua roa te mōhio o te umanga ahuwhenua ko te kohikohi i ngā mano tini o ngā manu, ngā kararehe rānei, ka hua ake he mahi ahuwhenua kotahi e whiriwhiri ana i aua mate. Engari kāore te ōhanga mākete e whiu i ngā kamupene mō te whakatipu i te Rewharewha Nui – engari e whiu ana i ngā kararehe, i te taiao, i ngā kaihoko, me ngā kaimahi kirimana. I te taha o te pikinga o ngā hua, ka tukuna ngā mate kia puta, kia whanake, kia horapa hoki me te kore e aukati. "Arā," te tuhituhi a te tohunga koiora whanaketanga a Rob Wallace, "he utu te whakaputa i tētahi mate ka taea te patu i te piriona tāngata."
I roto i te pukapuka Big Farms Make Big Flu, he kohinga o ngā karere whakamataku me te whakaoho whakaaro, ka whai a Wallace i ngā huarahi e puta mai ai te rewharewha me ētahi atu mate urutā mai i tētahi ahuwhenua e whakahaerehia ana e ngā kamupene o te ao whānui. Ka whakamārama a Wallace, me te ngākau pono me te auaha, i ngā mea hou o te pūtaiao o te mate urutā ahuwhenua, i te wā kotahi e whakataurite ana i ngā āhuatanga whakamataku pērā i ngā ngana ki te whakaputa heihei kore huruhuru, te haere wā moroiti, me te Ebola neoliberal. Ka tukuna hoki e Wallace ētahi atu huarahi whai hua hei whakakapi i te pakihi ahuwhenua whakamate. Ko ētahi, pērā i ngā mahi tahi ahuwhenua, te whakahaere mate urutā whakauru, me ngā pūnaha hua-kararehe whakauru, kua whakamahia kētia i waho o te whatunga pakihi ahuwhenua.
Ahakoa he maha ngā pukapuka e kapi ana i ngā āhuatanga o te kai me ngā pakarutanga, ko te kohinga a Wallace te tuatahi ki te tūhura i ngā mate pipiri, te ahuwhenua, te ōhanga me te āhua o te pūtaiao. Ka whakauruhia e Big Farms Make Big Flu ngā ōhanga tōrangapū o te mate me te pūtaiao kia puta ai he māramatanga hou mō te whanaketanga o ngā mate. Ko te ahuwhenua whai rawa pea ko te ahuwhenua i ngā mate urutā pērā i te heihei, te kānga rānei.
