Public involvement processes, conflict, and challenges for rural residents near intensive hog farms
Large-scale hog operations have generated intense conflict in rural communities in North America, and more recently in Alberta, Canada. The structure and process of public involvement processes for intensive hog operations influences how well the core issues of concern are addressed by public officials and pork producer proponents. This study reports interview findings from 43 key players in intensive hog operation controversies across four cases in Alberta, and summarizes four inter-related areas of the public participation processes that affect levels of trust among stakeholders, thereby altering the perceived fairness and the balance of power: (1) the timing of the public participation process; (2) information sharing; (3) accessibility of the process; and (4) accountability of public institutions and policies. Recent changes to the regulations of intensive livestock operations will unlikely address core issues of conflict without incorporating the above elements of democratic public involvement processes.
