Fewer but larger farms coupled with pressures from a growing non-farm rural population has resulted in tighter public controls on farm production practices. Municipalities were the key institution authorizing the establishment of livestock production facilities in Ontario prior to the Nutrient Management Act. This decentralized regulatory approach resulted in a range of environmental policies and regulations involving the issuance of building permits.

520 $a Fewer but larger farms coupled with pressures from a growing non-farm rural population has resulted in tighter public controls on farm production practices. Municipalities were the key institution authorizing the establishment of livestock production facilities in Ontario prior to the Nutrient Management Act. This decentralized regulatory approach resulted in a range of environmental policies and regulations involving the issuance of building permits.
520 $a Differences in nutrient management by-laws could affect the location decision of new livestock facilities. This variation allows for the existence of potential "pollution havens" in which barns located in those regions with lax regulations and thereby lowest compliance costs. While there could be differences in the costs of meeting local bylaws in the establishment of a new or expanded livestock farm, these may be offset by other factors influencing location choice.
520 $a The purpose of this study is to determine the factors influencing the location of livestock production facilities in southwestern Ontario from 1996 to 2001.
520 $a Research into the determinants of livestock production facility location is timely in light of the administrative changes taking place in the province. First, a current picture of the degree of variation in environmental stringency across the municipalities is required but lacking. Secondly, little is known about the various location determinants driving the establishment of livestock production facilities in Ontario. This study will help determine whether new livestock operations have been built in townships with lax environmental by-laws or has the decision to build been based on other factors. Third, it will assess which of the environmental regulations have impacted firm location which will aid municipalities trying to design policies to attract (or deter) future livestock growth in their region.
