Coperatives

Cooperatives, or co-ops, are organizations owned and operated by a group of individuals who share a common goal. Members come together to meet their shared needs—such as purchasing goods, accessing services, or benefiting from shared resources. Each member typically has an equal vote in decision-making, regardless of their level of investment, promoting equality and collaboration. Co-ops can be found in various sectors, including agriculture, retail, and housing, and aim to provide economic benefits to members while emphasizing community and sustainability. This model empowers individuals and prioritizes collective well-being over profit maximization.
