Soviet Agriculture Reforms

Soviet agricultural reforms aimed to increase food production by collectivizing farms, uniting individual farmers into large state-owned or cooperative farms. This shift eliminated private farming to improve efficiency and ensure steady grain supplies for the economy. However, the transition often disrupted traditional farming practices, led to reduced productivity, and caused food shortages. Over time, reforms evolved with adjustments to incentives and management, but challenges in balancing collective efficiency with individual motivation persisted throughout the Soviet era.
