Many livestock producers need to know more about the potential impact of manure management practices on natural resources and the quality of life in rural areas. Community leaders, on the other hand, need a better understanding of the problems farmers face in dealing with new neighbors and regulatory scrutiny in a climate of economic uncertainty. Animal Agriculture and the Environment contains thirty-three papers divided among the general categories of environmental concerns, environmental protection issues, environmental protection in relation to land application and to animal management, public policy considerations, and the costs to farmers of environmental protection. The authors summarize experiences involving various nutrient management plans and approaches to protecting water quality, and they review on-farm management strategies for protecting water quality and addressing community concerns.
