land collectivization

Land collectivization is a process where individual landholdings are consolidated into collective farms managed by the community or state. The goal is to increase agricultural efficiency, share resources, and promote communal effort. This often involves transforming private farms into larger, collective units, reducing private ownership. While intended to boost productivity, it can risk undermining individual incentives and property rights, leading to social and economic shifts. Land collectivization has been implemented in various countries, notably in the Soviet Union during the early-mid 20th century, as part of larger economic and political reforms.
