**Scale: 1 (disagree) to 5 (agree).

***Scale: 1 (disagree) to 5 (agree) and 6 (don’t know as missing).

****Only the respondents who identified themselves as living in a municipality with intensive livestock farms answered this question. As this is self-reported since people, it differs with the actual sample size of people living in one of the 23 preselected livestock dense communities.

^aSignificant difference with research panel.

^bSignificant difference with farmers.

^cSignificant difference with other stakeholders.
