Collective farming
Collective farming
Collective farming (pronunciation: /kəˈlɛktɪv ˈfɑːrmɪŋ/) is a type of agricultural production in which multiple farmers run their holdings as a joint enterprise. This type of cooperative is often an agricultural production unit including a number of farm households or villages working together.
Etymology
The term "collective farming" is a direct translation of the Russian term "kollektivnoe khoziaistvo" (коллективное хозяйство), which was introduced in the Soviet Union to represent a form of collective agricultural enterprise. The concept has its roots in the theories of Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin, who advocated for the collective ownership of means of production.
