Collective Farm

During the Troubled Times, especially in Soviet Russia, collective farms were created to increase agricultural efficiency and production by pooling resources and labor. These farms aimed to solve food shortages and poor productivity caused by small, inefficient farms. However, the forced collectivization often led to resistance, loss of personal land ownership, and sometimes even famine. Today, the concept of collective farming can still be seen in community gardens where people come together to grow food, share resources, and support each other. This idea matters because it encourages cooperation, sustainability, and local food security, helping communities become more self-reliant and connected.
