| Abstract | The process of regulating Delaware’s tremendous poultry industry has been tumultuous since the industry first became the focus of nutrient management regulation. This research seeks to use first-hand testimonies to understand the development of nutrient management over time, how nutrient management is carried out today, and what strategies have been successful in encouraging implementation of practices. The evolution of nutrient management, which started out plagued by ill-feelings between farmers and regulators, has progressed largely due to three main factors utilized to connect stakeholders: strong science and education, collaborative processes and open communication, and non-regulatory middlemen that bridge the gap between farmers and regulators. | |
