Letter: Going organic
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.Sir: Whatever possessed your leader writer to advocate "fewer and bigger farms, with a globally competitive cost base" (22 September)?
This from a paper which so regularly highlights the dramatic decline in farmland birds over recent decades and the need to reverse this with more environmentally sound agricultural practices. Your recent supplement on organic foods highlighted the spiralling demand for such produce, most of which is imported.
Organic farming not only encourages wildlife but creates jobs in rural areas and the sort of landscape which appeals to visitors to the countryside.
