Chaka chilichonse, mayiko onse omwe ali ndi udindo wokhala opanga tiyi padziko lonse lapansi amakondwerera Tsiku Ladziko Lonse la Tiyi (Tsiku Lapadziko Lonse) ndi tchuthi cha zakumwa zakale kwambiri komanso zathanzi Padziko Lapansi.
Cholinga cha Tsikuli ndikuwonetsa maboma ndi nzika pamavuto akugulitsa tiyi, ubale womwe ulipo pakati pa ogulitsa tiyi ndi momwe ogwira tiyi amagwirira ntchito, opanga ang'ono ndi ogula. Ndipo, kumene, kutchukitsa kwa chakumwa.
Lingaliro lakukondwerera Tsiku la Teya Lapadziko Lonse pa Disembala 15 lidapangidwa pambuyo pokambirana mobwerezabwereza m'mabungwe ambiri apadziko lonse komanso mabungwe azamalonda, pa World Social Forum, yomwe idachitika ku 2004 ku Mumbai (Mumbai, India) komanso ku 2005 ku Port Allegra (Porte Allegre, Brazil ).

Chifukwa chake, Tsiku la Teyi Padziko Lonse limakondweretsedwa makamaka ndi mayiko omwe chuma chawo chimakhala chimodzi mwamagawo akuluakulu - India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal, China, Vietnam, Indonesia, Kenya, Malaysia, Uganda, Tanzania.
Ndondomeko yamalonda yapadziko lonse lapansi ya World Trade Organisation ikuganiza kuti mayiko omwe akutulutsa adzatsegula malire awo kuti agulitse. Mtengo wamtengo wa tiyi wakhala ukucheperachepera m'maiko onse, komanso kusowa kwachidziwitso pakukhazikitsa mtengo wa tiyi.
Kuchulukitsa kwa ntchito kumawoneka m'makampani a tiyi, koma chodabwitsa ichi chimayang'aniridwa chifukwa phindu limaponyedwa kumakampani apadziko lonse lapansi. Mitundu yapadziko lonse lapansi imatha kugula tiyi pamitengo yotsika kwambiri, pomwe msika wa tiyi ukukonzanso kwambiri kulikonse. Zimadziwikiratu pakuphatikizika komanso kusagwirizana paminda yolima tiyi ndikuphatikizika pamlingo wamsika.
Amakhulupirira kuti tiyi ngati chakumwa adazindikira ndi mfumu yachiwiri yaku China, Shen Nung, pafupifupi 2737 BC, pomwe mfumu idathira masamba a tiyi mu kapu yamadzi otentha. Kodi ndizotheka kulingalira kuti tsopano tikumwa tiyi womwewo womwe mfumu yaku China idalawiranso pafupifupi zaka zikwi zisanu zapitazo!
Mu 400-600 AD. Ku China, chidwi pa tiyi ngati chakumwa chamankhwala chikukula, chifukwa chake njira zolimidwa tiyi zikukula. Ku Europe ndi Russia, tiyi adadziwika kuyambira theka loyamba la 17th century. Ndipo chimodzi mwa zochitika zodziwika bwino m'mbiri yamasiku ano tiyi ndizomwe zidachitika mu 1773, pomwe atsamunda aku America adaponya mabokosi a tiyi ku Boston Harbor posonyeza misonkho ya tiyi yaku UK.
Masiku ano, okonda tiyi ambiri, kuwonjezera pa "kumwa", amawonjezera zitsamba zosiyanasiyana, anyezi, ginger, zonunkhira kapena magawo a lalanje pachakumwa chomwe amakonda. Anthu ena amamwa tiyi ndi mkaka… Mayiko ambiri ali ndi miyambo yawo yakumwa zakumwa tiyi, koma chinthu chimodzi nthawi zonse - tiyi akupitiliza kukhala chimodzi mwa zakumwa zokondedwa kwambiri padziko lapansi.
Tchuthi, ngakhale sichinafikebe, chimakondweretsedwa ndi mayiko ena (koma, makamaka, awa ndi mayiko aku Asia). Ku Russia, imakondwerera posachedwa osati ponseponse - chifukwa chake, m'mizinda yosiyanasiyana, ziwonetsero zosiyanasiyana, makalasi apamwamba, masemina, zotsatsa zotsatsa mutu wa tiyi ndikugwiritsa ntchito moyenera mpaka pano.
