co-operative

Co-operative, in a general knowledge context, refers to an organization or business model where individuals work together to achieve common goals. Members pool resources, share responsibilities, and benefit equitably from the collective efforts. This approach promotes collaboration, community involvement, and mutual support. Co-operatives can be found in various sectors, including agriculture, retail, and finance, allowing members to have a say in decision-making and often share profits. The underlying principle is that by working together, individuals can achieve outcomes that may be difficult or impossible to attain alone.
