Community-Based Production

Community-Based Production (CBP) is a collaborative approach where local people actively participate in creating goods or services that meet their community’s needs. It emphasizes shared effort, local knowledge, and resources, often involving community members in planning, designing, and managing projects. CBP seeks to empower communities, foster social cohesion, and promote sustainable development by making production more democratic, cost-effective, and tailored to local priorities. Instead of relying solely on external businesses or government programs, CBP leverages local skills and assets for mutually beneficial outcomes.
