General informations and guidelines are given to reduce and deal with conflicts between rural neighbours considering that the rural population often does not have a direct link to agriculture anymore. Those problems can be odour or noise related. Five SMART methods (Separation, Magnitude reduction, Alteration, Reduction and Timing) are presented to reduce possible odour and noise conflicts. The necessary methods to solve complaints problems are also presented and they are : hearing both sides of the complaint; developing an abatement program; and follow up.
