    It’s something that was happening at least 20 years ago as well. Though specifically for pig farms’ smell: regulations of how to deal with the smell has long existed and quite often if there’s complaints they’re not using the filtration system because it’s expensive to maintain.

    I live within 200m of a pig farm and I’ve never smelled it itself.
