**8. Confining pigs**

After the initial farmer training workshop, the number of farmers that tethered their pigs increased from 32% to 51%. This rate increased to 62% after the one-on-one training. Four years after the study began, 100% of the farmers who had either participated in the research program or attended one of the workshops were either housing or tethering their pigs. This illustrates the long-term behaviour changes that results from these educational opportunities.
