Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Research has shown that eight out of 10 skylarks - an endangered species - prefer organic farms, yet less than 1% of UK farmland is cultivated organically. This is the kind of information that may stir your ire at this inaugural, and long overdue, event.
No one has calculated the percentage of the population that prefers organic produce, but the proliferation of such food in high street stores suggests that there is a preference to be plundered. Top names in the industry - such as the Soil Association and Organics Direct - will be among those taking part in the festival, and you can expect tips on everything from how to improve your sex life to "lazy gardening".
