Collective resources refer to assets or services that are shared among a group of individuals or communities. These resources can include natural resources, such as water and forests, as well as social resources like knowledge and skills. The idea is that by pooling resources, groups can achieve greater efficiency and sustainability than individuals acting alone. Examples of collective resources can be seen in cooperatives, where members work together to manage and benefit from shared goods. Additionally, open-source software is a form of collective resource, allowing developers to collaborate and improve software for everyone’s benefit.
