Abstract

This work investigates the spatial dynamics currently at work in the Missouri hog production industry with regard to confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs). Through a quantitative analysis of enterprise size and an interpretation of legal and social pressures in the area, clustering of production facilities within the industry is examined. State legislation was found to influence various sizes of CAFOs in how they cluster. As a whole, the largest CAFOs were found to be the most influenced due to their heavily restricted geography while smaller CAFOs were less influenced by state laws. Cette etude cherche a examiner la dynamique spatiale qui joue a l'heure actuelle dans l'elevage porcin dans le Missouri pour ce qui concerne la delimitation geographique de l'alimentation des animaux (confined animal feeding operation; CAFO). A partir d'une analyse quantitative de la taille d'entreprise et d'une interpretation des forces juridiques et sociales locales, on examine la tendance a la concentration geographique des installations de production de cette industrie. Il s'avere que la legislation d'etat influence la tendance a la concentration geographique des CAFO en fonction de leur taille. Dans l'ensemble, il s'avere que les plus grandes CAFO sont les plus influencees acause de leur delimitation geographique restreinte, tandis que les plus petites CAFO sont moins inflencees par la legislation d'etat. Diese Arbeit untersucht die raumliche Dynamik, die z.Z. bei der Schweinezucht im Missouri bezuglich Durchfuhrung der Futterung von in Stall gezuchteten Tieren (Confined Animal Feeding Operations - CAFOs) zu beobachten ist. Kluster von Zuchtanlagen in diesem Industriezweig werden sowohl einer quantitiven Analyse der Grosse der jeweiligen Unternehmen unterworfen als auch einer Interpretation des gesetzlichen und des gesellschaftlichen Druckes, die auf diesem Gebiet auftreten. Es stellt sich heraus, dass staatliche Gesetzgebung sich auf den unterschiedlichen Umfang der CAFOs bezuglich Art und Weise ihrer Ballung auswirkt. Im Grossen und Ganzen ergab sich, dass die grossten CAFOs dank ihrer sehr beschrankten Ausdehnung am sta¨rksten beeinflusst, wa¨hrend kleinere CAFOs weniger von staatlichen Verordungen betroffen werden.
