Farmers with animal production can experience different types of criticisms directed against their activities from consumers, the media and inspecting government agencies. On another level, criminal acts are directed against the farm's activities and people on the farm, The main goal is to investigate the nature of the experiences of victimization materialized as threats, crimes and criticism against animal production in Sweden. This is achieved by assessing the consequences for individuals and farms, health, social and economic conditions. We focus on farmers not as ‘victims’ but rather as ‘active agents’, by illustrating ways that farmers handle, cope and respond to the criticisms and threats. Interviews with farmers, focus groups as well as official statistics and media coverage will underlie the methodology of this study. Findings will lead to an action plan with concrete proposals on what measures are needed to create a better quality of life for animal producing farmers.
Lantbrukare med djurproduktion kan uppleva olika typer av kritik mot sin verksamhet via media och inspekterande myndigheter. På en annan nivå kan det ske hot, skadegörelse och andra kriminella handlingar riktade mot verksamheten, men också mot företagaren, familjemedlemmar och anställda. Huvudmålet för studien är att undersöka lantbrukarnas erfarenheter av hot, brott och kritik mot djurproduktion i Sverige. Detta uppnås genom att bedöma konsekvenserna för individer och verksamheter, hälsa, sociala och ekonomiska förhållanden. Vi fokuserar på lantbrukarna, inte som "offer" utan snarare som "aktiva agenter" genom att illustrera de sätt som lantbrukare hanterar och agerar på den kritik och hot de utsätts för. Intervjuer, fokusgrupper, officiell statistik samt mediabevakning kommer att ligga till grund för metodiken i denna studie. Resultaten omsätts i en handlingsplan med konkreta förslag om vilka åtgärder som behövs för att skapa en bättre livskvalitet för djurproducerande lantbrukare.
