Baines J & Edwards P (2018)

Highlights
  • The type of relationship between an aquaculture company & community is key to a community granting (or not) a social licence.
  • Large aquaculture operators can apply small operators’ tactics to develop better relationships between company and community.
  • These findings have much broader applicability across other primary sectors, including agriculture, horticulture and forestry.
