dc.description.abstract
This article examines the governance structures for managing the location and operation of
Intensive Livestock Farming Operations (ILFOs). The article focuses on the hog sector and
compares two very different jurisdictions: the Province of Manitoba, Canada and the Autonomous Community of Catalonia, Spain. Both are regions that have witnessed recent increases in hog production, including increasing spatial concentration of ILFOs and increasing
size of those ILFOs. Policy has both fostered and sought to manage the increased production.
Following a brief background description of restructuring, the changing legislative framework
for Manitoba and Catalonia are described. Keywords: environmental regulations, hog farms, manure management, animal feeding
operations. JEL: Q15, Q58, R52, O57
