Nearly two years ago, we joined The Trust Project, a global network of news organizations that use transparency standards to help readers assess the quality and credibility of journalism. Transparency and credibility are essential to our work — and we know you count on it.

Our reporters cover big agribusiness and industry abuses, which governmental policies are — and aren’t — working well, and solutions being explored or put into practice. As a member of The Trust Project, we also are transparent about the policies, standards and ethical practices we follow to produce this important work, day in and day out.

And right now, we are working to raise $15,000 to help support this work in 2025 — work that isn’t beholden to corporate entities and interests.

During this time of giving, please consider investing in us. The campaign runs through 11:59 p.m. Dec. 31.

A charitable investment in any amount is appreciated.

With gratitude,

Erin Orr, Executive Director
