communal farming
Collective land cultivation
Communal farming is agricultural practice where land is worked collectively by a group rather than by individual owners.
The group shares labor, resources, and often the harvest.
The term encompasses various arrangements—from traditional village systems to kibbutzim to Soviet-era collective farms: The commune transitioned to communal farming after the revolution.
