Editing Intensive pig farming (section)

===Effects on traditional rural communities===
Common criticism of intensive piggeries is that they represent a corporatization of the traditional rural lifestyle. Critics feel the rise of intensive piggeries has largely replaced family farming. In large part, this is because intensive piggeries are more economical than outdoor systems, pen systems, or the [[sty]]. In many pork-producing countries (e.g., [[United States]], [[Canada]], [[Australia]], [[Denmark]]) the use of intensive piggeries has led to market rationalization and concentration.
