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.Farmers across Uganda are feeling the impact of climate change, compounded in some cases by historical land degradation caused by overgrazing and burning fields.
Some farmers are now being trained to use climate-smart farming , and others rewarding carbon capture innovations. However, more resources need to be channeled locally to make these projects more impactful. Sarah Mawarere spoke to farmers and organisations in different Ugandan districts to find out more about these resilience-building projects and their positive impacts on local communities.
