As New Hampshire becomes more urban, the potential for conflict between the farming and non-farming communities increases. By using best management practices*, farmers can greatly reduce or eliminate problems of odor and fly control, pesticide drift, contamination of surface and ground waters, and damage to neighboring crops. With best management practices in place, farming activities are compatible with other land uses in urban environments. |

It is not possible to come to any conclusions about the livelihood strategies of poor households in the peri-urban area simply because there is no information on these at all. Animal husbandry practices are likely to be the same as in rural areas of Karnataka and other parts of India but this is not spelt out. The correlation between livestock ownership and wealth, even in the urban area, is not very clear. Presumably those families that own few animals are less well off and may fall into the poverty stratum, members of the family may have to pick rags and undertake other menial work, but their financial status and well-being have not been characterised. |

Project reports provide a partial picture of the characteristics of pig-keepers in and around Dubli-Dharwad. Thus their location (Malmaddi, Saraswatpur, Hossallapur, Old Hubli, Settlement Area, Keswapur), ethnicity, livelihood
practices and customs have been adequately established. Once again, the wealthranking of these people is not adequately identified, through it would seem that at least some are rich, as they are able to employ workers and equip them with motorcycles to look after the animals (Nunan, 2000). |
