collectivized agriculture

Collectivized agriculture refers to a system where individual farms are combined into large, state-owned or collectively managed farms. This approach aims to increase agricultural efficiency and productivity by pooling resources, labor, and machinery. It often involves the redistribution of land and the establishment of collective farming groups, where farmers work together for common goals. While intended to enhance food production and social equity, collectivized agriculture has faced criticism for reducing individual incentives and productivity, as seen in historical examples like the Soviet Union's collectivization efforts.
