Litigation Analysis
While much of the scholarship on CAFOs and industrialized farming has emerged from the United States and the European Union, there remains a gap in analysis of how litigation strategies are deployed in populous low-and middle-income countries (PLMICs). Existing research has documented the environmental, public health, and ethical concerns associated with CAFOs in the Global North, but has often overlooked the distinct legal, socio-cultural, and economic contexts that shape advocacy and litigation efforts in PLMICs. Without this knowledge, policymakers and advocates may lack a comparative evidence base for developing strategies that might prove effective across jurisdictions. This project seeks to fill that gap by examining litigation strategies in four countries: Brazil, India, Mexico, and Zimbabwe.
