Cooperative Land Ownership
Cooperative land ownership is a system where a group of individuals collectively own and manage land through a corporation or cooperative organization. Instead of owning individual parcels outright, members hold shares in the cooperative, which provides them with the right to use specific land or properties. Decisions about land use, maintenance, and improvements are made democratically by the members. This approach promotes shared responsibility, reduces individual financial burden, and often supports community development. It balances collective ownership with individual rights, fostering cooperation and resource pooling among members while maintaining a structured governance system.
