Detailed Summary
Collective farming refers to an agricultural system where farmers work together, sharing resources and labor to improve efficiency and enhance agricultural output. The model of Kolkhoz, introduced in the Soviet Union, serves as a key example of this approach. Through collective farming, farmers pooled all their agricultural resources, such as land, livestock, and labor, while being permitted to retain small private plots for their own subsistence. This system was designed to overcome inefficiencies observed in previous agricultural practices and aimed to boost self-sufficient agricultural production.
In collective farming, the emphasis lies on social ownership of production means and ensuring that collective efforts lead to improved agricultural outcomes. Though the system has faced criticism and challenges, it has had significant implications for agricultural practices and efficiency in various regions.
