Greener Pastures: Decentralizing the Regulation of Agricultural Pollution

05/24/2007

By Elizabeth Brubaker. This book traces the evolution of laws permitting farms to grow larger and to create nuisances -- especially odours -- that harm their neighbours. It argues for a return to a more decentralized, rights-based regulatory regime in which individuals and communities are empowered to protect themselves from polluting farms.
