This project developed a methodology using the NASAPP web platform to monitor and analyze odor pollution from a waste management plant in a residential area.

   By combining trained-user data with public participation and advanced analysis, it created an odor impact index and facilitated transparent stakeholder communication. The approach reduced odor complaints by 80% and established a replicable model for environmental conflict resolution, emphasizing community-company-authority collaboration.

   With the new odour standard for swine facilities in Chile, Maxagro and the industry face the challenge of advancing towards sustainable production and managing community expectations.

   Despite technological investments that have reduced odours by over 75%, the perception of low-level odours can still lead to complaints. Maxagro actively works with the community to improve understanding and social well-being.
