Collective Farm
A collective farm is an agricultural enterprise where multiple farmers work together to cultivate land and share resources. This system often involves pooling labor, equipment, and profits to increase efficiency and productivity. Collective farms were particularly prominent in the former Soviet Union, where they aimed to modernize agriculture and eliminate private land ownership.
In a collective farm, decisions about planting, harvesting, and distribution are made collectively, rather than individually. This approach can help improve food security and support rural communities. However, collective farms have faced challenges, such as bureaucratic inefficiencies and varying levels of commitment among members.
