Environmental Injustice and the Mississippi Hog Industry Paper by: S M Wilson, F Howell, S Wing, and M Sobsey. 2002. Environmental Health Perspectives Supplements, 110(2):195-201. Presented by Joy Rasmussen, Environmental Science, GEOG 370, Feb 26, 2008

Problem: Environmental Racism and Confined Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) Problem: There is a link between Environmental Racism and Hog CAFOs but there is hardly any data linking this. The more available the information pointing to an actually like more likely it is to help these Non-white and poor communities. Hypothesis: Studying the recent move in of industrial hog farms may help link the industries’ choices of poor and non-white communities and other states that already have many hog CAFO.

Method, Data, & Test: Defining and Plotting CAFOs and Determining Demographic Definitions The study is across the entirety of Mississippi. To determine the location and define the hog farms, the list of nationally permitted swine farms. The 1990 Census data is used to determine the Demographics around each farm. Quintiles were made to examine each Environmental Justice factor using the Census data. This data is used to determine who is surrounding the Hog farms, which have already been proven to be detrimental to health

Results Majority of the industrial hog farms were located in areas of high African-American Population and households living in poverty. Other research has proven that this having a hog farm in rural black communities is actually detrimental to economic development. There is a huge likelihood that the reasons that the hog industry was the low price of land in the rural communtities.

Conclusion There are many environmental and health issues affecting people who live near Confined Animal Feeding Operations. Citizens are concerned about the health affects (physical and physiological). African-American and poor communities have a larger amount of Hog Operations than any other group of people. The authors believe that the state of Mississippi would serve their people better if the State tried to attract environmentally friend business instead of hog farms
