Abstract:
France and Germany are examples of countries where agriculture is an important part of the economy, there is a large number of farms and the cooperative movement is very popular. In the European Union there are over 22 thousand agricultural cooperatives. The article presents statistical data and legal regulations concerning agricultural cooperatives in France and Germany, in particular, the French Code Rural and the German Genossenschaftsgesetz. In conclusion the author states that the Polish legislature, creating a new model of cooperative law, should unquestionably draw on the experience and some legal solutions implemented in Germany and France, and in particular introduce a broad definition of agricultural cooperatives, a simplified procedure of their formation and functioning, financial instruments, including tax, and rules on merging cooperatives with other cooperative entities or companies.

Abstract:
The purpose of the article is to study the impact of the basic principles and benefits of the development of cooperative movement on the development of organic agricultural production, as well as to determine the role of cooperation in the development of organic entrepreneurship. Methodology. The author has used the methods of analysis and synthesis, the method of statistical grouping and comparison, induction and deduction, structural and functional approach to solve the problems and achieve the goals. The study is based on the comparative analysis and synthesis of scientific literature. Results. Organic food is increasing in popularity. The growing demand is mainly attributable to consumer concerns about negative implications of conventional agriculture for human health and the environment. Organic agriculture has a great potential to neutralize a negative impact of agricultural intensification on the environment. The article describes the concept and analyzes the current state of cooperation in agriculture. It is found that during the period under the research, the number of registered cooperatives has increased by almost 45%. The concepts of organic agriculture and organic production are clarified. The dynamics of agricultural lands engaged in organic production and the number of certified organic farms in Ukraine are studied. It is indicated that the consumption of organic products in Ukraine is much lower than in the European countries and the United States. The advantages of introducing a cooperative movement in the field of organic agriculture are identified. Being part of a cooperative helps small farms to be able to produce enough to generate profits and ensure their substance, which is an opportunity to compete with larger companies. Risks arising in the process of establishing organic cooperatives are outlined considering the international experience. It is concluded that efficient organic farming cooperatives can support local and export markets, stimulate production efficiency and promote local logistics. Practical implications. The advantages of consolidation of enterprises and entrepreneurs in the field of organic agriculture on the basis of cooperation can be used for the development of state programs to support the cooperative movement in organic farming. Value/originality. Views on the organization of production, processing and logistics activities of organic agricultural producers through the introduction of cooperatives have been expanded.

In our paper we researched the state regulation in agriculture of Ukraine, as well as world experience in this field. The distribution of state financing for support of agricultural production is analyzed. We singled out the direction of state support to the agrarian sector of Ukraine. The directions of organizational reforming of households in the market conditions are investigated. The variants of integration of households of the population into more consolidated economic forms are offered. The priority of the development of cooperatives in agriculture has been argued. The positive experience of state support of servicing cooperation is considered on the example of «The Benefits of the Development of Personal Peasant, Farmers, Cooperative Movement in the Village and Advice Service for 2016-2020» of the Vinnytsia Region. The prospects of creation of cooperatives for the provision of oilseeds processing services for the energy needs of agribusinesses and provision of livestock feed with forages are argued. The prospects for realization of the program of development of agricultural servicing cooperatives within the boundaries of Ukraine are outlined.

Abstract:
The differences in perception and functioning of agricultural cooperatives in different parts of the world are visible to the naked eye. Moreover, the literature brings different findings in respect to comparisons between cooperatives and non-cooperatives in terms of profitability. The purpose of this article was to identify the differences in profitability between agricultural cooperatives in selected parts of the world as well as between cooperatives and other enterprises in Polish agriculture. The description of results of the world report on cooperatives and analysis of variance on 300 agricultural enterprises in Poland were used in order to accomplish the above purpose. The main findings prove that American agricultural cooperatives achieved the best profitability results and that cooperatives have lower profitability than other enterprises in agriculture.

Abstract:
Abstract:This paper develops an organizational economics explanation for agricultural cooperatives by building upon the transaction cost theory of family farms. According to this theory, the importance of family farms in Western agriculture is a result of the low feasibility of hierarchical organization in agricultural production due to supervision and monitoring difficulties. This paper argues that the transaction cost-economizing effect of family farms has a price in the form of their limited ability to realize economies of scale and to develop market power comparable to that of their up- and downstream trading partners. The role of agricultural cooperatives is shown to help overcome these limitations in order to take advantage of the transaction-cost economizing properties of family farms. This explanation of agricultural cooperatives is sector-specific in the sense that it traces the benefits of cooperative organization back to the organizational attributes of agricultural production.

Abstract:
The need for Romanian agriculture development by efficient usage of resources and a rural environment has led to the establishment of agricultural cooperatives. Romania needs strong cooperatives and, in order to achieve this, the involvement of not only the authorities and agricultural producers, but also of each inhabitant from the rural area, is required. In the context of food market saturation with import products, it is necessary to revive the Romanian market in order to supply natural and quality products. A total of 1425 agricultural cooperatives were registered in Romania at the end of 2018, out of which 57% did not submit the Balance Sheet. The research performed within the study proposes the usage of fsQCA analysis in order to assess some conditions considered by us essential for the sustainability of the agricultural cooperatives. These conditions are represented by the initial contribution of the members, by the existence of a central collection space, by the employment of a manager, by the knowledge of the members on the development possibilities, and by the involvement of the members within the cooperative’s activity. The study highlights the fact that the absence of the conditions presented leads to the absence of a sustainable cooperative. We consider the dissolution of the cooperatives pertinent, which has not developed an activity for more than three years from their establishment and the publication on the MADR website of the National Registry of Cooperatives, which will offer a true image on the prosperity and viability of these types of entities.

Abstract:
The evolution of cooperation in Lithuanian agriculture during the past century is analysed in the paper. It was found that cooperation has greatly depended on farming conditions, traditions of communication, state policy with respect to the development of agriculture and cooperation, and various economic conditions. Particularly significant are the specific features of development during transition of economic conditions: weak agricultural structures (farmer’s farms, agricultural companies); the domination of share capital in the processing industry and commerce, and the insufficiency of agricultural and foodstuffs markets. The basis of analysis in this paper are the theoretical preconditions for the principles of development of the activity of cooperatives. It was determined that most prospective preconditions for development of cooperation at present and in the near future emphasize the comparitive weight of the cost of production of raw materials, i.e. cooperatives of facilities, realisation, finance and representation of interests.

Thesis (M.Dev.) --University of Limpopo, 2013
Agricultural cooperatives have been widely promoted as a vehicle for smallholder agricultural development in South Africa. As a result, agricultural co-operative registrations in South Africa are increasing. However, research suggests that South African co-operatives have generally not been effective, successful and functional. This study has investigated the challenges facing agricultural cooperatives in the Greater Tzaneen Municipality. It is expected that identification of these elements may enable institutions that offer support to cooperatives make better decisions to improve primary agricultural cooperatives support. Understanding of these elements could inform the efforts for members of cooperatives to achieve their set objectives and thus improve agriculture cooperative, employability, functionality and profitability. A case study of the Nkomamonta Agricultural Primary Cooperative in the Greater Tzaneen Municipalities is used. It is composed of fifteen agricultural cooperative which were purposively selected for the study because they were nearby, they are a pilot agricultural cooperative in the municipality and which are also not functioning as expected. The sample also included the purposively selected members, customers of these agricultural cooperative, workers, Greater Tzaneen Municipality, Local SEDA and LIBSA to explore the differences and provide insight to the knowledge, opinions and challenges that are facing agricultural cooperatives. One-on-one interviews were carried out with co-operative members as well as focus group discussions with customers, members of the cooperatives, workers, the Municipal officials, SEDA and LIBSA. A framework for analysing the challenges agricultural cooperatives with reference to the Nkomamonta cooperative case study was developed using literature of objectives of agricultural cooperatives, challenges which were identified by other researchers and success factors of smallholder agriculture. According to this study, farmers’ activities are hampered by a number of constraints. Production capability of the fifteen primary cooperatives is hampered by resource constraints such as lack of access to land (in one cooperative), machinery and equipment, finances and information relevant to production. Marketing, transportation, poor infrastructure and the elderly age of some cooperative members and issues related to free-rider syndrome were part of the problems that were identified. Low capability of some of the fifteen cooperatives to mobilise resources, use the limited resources available and low capability to manage institutional arrangements rendered the cooperatives ineffective in achieving their set objectives. The study recommends strategies for ensuring that the challenges facing agricultural cooperatives are minimised to better their services in the community. These include strategies for addressing internal and external issues affecting the cooperatives. Direct intervention from government is recommended to improve production through revising land allocation systems which made Kulani Agricultural Cooperative not to have land for growing crops. Jerry Jeff and Nwa Rex went out of action for eight months due to renovation of neighbourhood inorganic farms by the Department of Agriculture. Another strategy would entail improving extension services and follow up and strict monitoring of effective use of government resources provided to farmers. Responding and action taking when disaster has struck the agricultural cooperative by Government is also a plausible strategy. Access and training to relevant technologies to improve the processing and packaging capabilities of cooperatives should improve. Marketing and management activities should be supported through provision of improved infrastructure and relevant training. Farmers themselves should consider assisting one another especially regarding land issues as it was discovered that 67 hectares lay unutilised while the farmer next door needed land. Farmers should also engage in value added activities, and improve marketing programs and cost-effective distribution mechanisms.

Abstract:
No estudo sobre a formação do território do capital e da Coamo, primeiramente seguindo por uma perspectiva Dialética Materialista Histórica, caracterizou-se a cooperativa agroindustrial Coamo com base nas nuances da territorialização e da monopolização do capital e sua influência na sociedade, examinando os elementos que foram os responsáveis no interior das cooperativas pela otimização do capital no campo. Para tanto, foi necessário o debate sobre a participação da cooperativa Coamo como instrumento de expansão do capital nas atividades agrárias, consolidando a estruturação da agricultura capitalista, repercutindo em todo o processo social na região de Campo Mourão e se expandindo por todo o Paraná, atingindo os Estados de Santa Catarina e do Mato Grosso do Sul. No estudo da expansão do território do capital foi considerado, como embasamento teórico, o entendimento de duas tríades principais: terra, trabalho e capital (elementos essenciais no desvendamento das contradições do modo de produção capitalista) e capital, território e cooperativa Coamo (elementos que se conectam aos processos de desenvolvimento nacionais e contribuem para a compreensão das contradições criadas no desenvolvimento do modo de produção capitalista em Campo Mourão). Apresentada a problemática que envolve a formação hegemônica do território, foram consideradas as reflexões e os questionamentos realizados por meio da coleta de informações e de entrevistas sobre a atuação da cooperativa Coamo, que é uma das maiores cooperativa da América Latina. Para fins didáticos, a pesquisa foi dividida em duas macrointerpretações, tendo como limite geográfico a área espacial da região de Campo Mourão. Em linhas gerais, uma das tendências da pesquisa voltou-se às particularidades do Estado do Paraná e da região de Campo Mourão, no que se refere à intensificação do capital no campo, com a participação direta da Coamo, entre outros agentes externos e internos, historicamente ligados aos conflitos e às lutas arroladas pela apropriação e regulamentação das terras. A outra tendência de interpretação não se desvinculou da primeira, complementando a análise sobre a temática, apresentando, de forma global e nacional, as vicissitudes geradas no decorrer da formação do território do capital, com o auxílio e integração das cooperativas agropecuárias. Nesse momento foi enfatizado o papel da atuação da Coamo na formação desse território. A partir da análise das macrointerpretações, foi possível o registro de informações sobre o fenômeno da territorialização e da monopolização capitalista que vem se intensificando em todo o país, atingindo praticamente todos os países do mundo. Para tanto, no estudo da territorialização capitalista, foi elencada uma gama de contribuições de autores, sendo Karl Marx um dos maiores representantes do estudo da produtividade do capital, que, com seu pensamento, embasou esta tese de doutoramento. Enfim, destaca-se que, para o seu fortalecimento, o capital está produzindo novas moldagens nas cooperativas, que passam a ser mais uma das formas de reprodução e de acumulação do capital, firmando seu desenvolvimento também em bases cooperativistas, ou seja, denominadas de cooperativas capitalistas.
In the study on the formation of Coamo´s territory of the capital, under a Historical Materialist Dialectic perspective, the agribusiness cooperative was characterized based on nuances of territorialization and monopolization of the capital and its influence on society, examining the elements that were responsible within the cooperatives for the optimization of the capital in the field. To achieve this aim, we needed the debate on the participation of Coamo as an instrument of penetration of the capital in agricultural activities, consolidating the structure of capitalist agriculture, affecting the entire social process not only in the region of Campo Mourão, but also reaching the states of Santa Catarina and Mato Grosso do Sul. In the study of the expansion of the territory of the capital, it was considered, as the theoretical basis, the understanding of two major triads: land, labor and capital that are essential elements in revealing the contradictions of the capitalist mode of production - and the capital, land and Coamo, which are elements that connect themselves to the national processes and contribute to the understanding of the contradictions created in the development of the capitalist mode of production. Stated the problem that involves the formation of hegemonic territory, it was taken into consideration the discussions and issues got by data collecting and interviews about the performance of cooperative Coamo, which is one of the largest cooperative in Latin America. For didactic purposes, the research was divided into two macro-interpretations, considering the spatial area of the region of Campo Mourão as the geographic limits. In general, a research line was directed to the particularities of the State of Paraná and the region of Campo Mourão, in relation to capital deepening in the field, with the direct participation of Coamo, among other internal and external agents, historically linked to the conflicts and struggles enrolled for the appropriation of land and regulations. The other trend of interpretation is not apart from the first, complementing the analysis about the subject by presenting global and national vicissitudes generated during the formation of the territory\'s capital, with the assistance and integration of agricultural cooperatives. At this point, it was emphasized Coamo ´s role played in the formation of this territory. From the analysis of macro-interpretations, it was possible to record information about the phenomenon of territorial and capitalist monopoly which is intensifying across the country, affecting practically all countries of the world. To this end, the study of capitalist territorial, was cast a range of contributions from authors and Karl Marx one of the greatest representatives of the study of capital productivity, which based the thought of his doctoral thesis. Finally, we point out that for its strengthening, capital is producing new moldings in cooperatives that become more and more a way of reproduction and accumulation of capital, firming its development also in cooperative databases, that is cooperatives called capitalists.

Abstract:
Long term growth and sustainability of cooperatives has become the focus of many countries worldwide. Cooperatives have been seen as the platform for uplifting disadvantaged communities while improving standards of the poor in countries such as Canada, Kenya, Ghana and Nigeria (Department of Trade and Industry, 2012). In South Africa, cooperatives are seen as playing a role in poverty eradication, equal distribution of wealth, employment creation, food security and as a contributor to the economic activity. The South African government have implemented policies aimed at improving the performance and sustainability of agriculture cooperatives in South Africa. Despite all the efforts cooperatives still face sustainability challenges. Therefore the purpose of this research was to investigate the sustainability challenges that prevent the permanent establishment of cooperatives and to understand the dynamics and nature of failure associated with agricultural cooperatives .A case study methodology was used to examine a single case in-depth and to understand the factors affecting agricultural cooperatives. The main challenges identified in the study include; poor communication, limited access to markets, access to finance, a lack of good governance and a lack of managerial skills. The study recommended capacity building as the first point of reference in order to deal with challenges such as communication, access to markets and a lack of managerial skills. A lack of good governance is regarded as an attitude problem which requires setting ethical standards and rules accompanied by a penalty to the member if they are found to be breaking the rules. Access to finances is regarded as a skills and competence phenomenon which requires people to develop planning and financial literacy skills, which will enable them to formulate business plans and use them as a control tool for managing the cooperative. The business plan is also regarded as an asset or security document which acts as a proof that the cooperative is well planned, organised and sustainable. The research concludes with suggesting areas for future study to investigate the impact of informal education practices on skills development in the success of cooperatives.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the model of integration of agricultural cooperatives in the State of Paraná. There were studied the characteristics, the factors that hinder and the actions that facilitate the integration of cooperatives and their members and of cooperatives between themselves. Cooperatives have distinct characteristics of other market players, in their purposes, form of management, capital formation and identification with the community where they work. The development of rural cooperatives in Paraná is the result of the Integrated Projects of Cooperatives (PICs), implemented as from 1972. The model provided cooperatives at local level, each with its field of action, with the purpose of providing technical assistance, credit and logistical support to groups of associated producers, and central cooperatives by region, for industrialization and commercialization of the production. The results provided by the integrated projects are evident, for almost 60% of the current agricultural production of the State outcomes through cooperatives. However, over time, due to the uneven growth of cooperatives, there appeared disputes about the area of action between cooperatives and conflicts of interests with regard to the central cooperatives, which endangered the idealized model of integration. Field research, conducted in this study concludes that 75% of the people who composes the internal public of’ the cooperatives - members, board members and employees, agree that there is competition between cooperatives in Paraná. This is a controversial but relevant topic for the development of the cooperatives, which compete with large national and international conglomerates. To overcome the dilemma of integration is an important challenge to cooperative organizations. This dissertation uses the methodology of content analysis, described by Vergara (2007, p. 15) to extract from the literature and the field research the desired results. Based on the Theory of Social Systems Delimitation, designed by Guerreiro Ramos (1981), it is concluded that the agricultural cooperatives of the State of Paraná are organizations of economic interests, which show isonomic characteristics of management. The main factors that hinder the integration of cooperatives were assigned to inner attitudes of cooperative members and managers, such as individualism, lack of knowledge about cooperatives and lack of interest in participating in the cooperative. Among the actions that could contribute to the integration was cited the need to form a new model of integration, supported by education, communication programs and capitalization in compatible volumes with the demands of cooperative projects, both for the cooperative members and for integrated projects between cooperatives.
Analisar o modelo de integração das cooperativas de produtores agropecuários no estado do Paraná foi o propósito deste estudo. Foram estudadas as características, os fatores que dificultam e as ações que facilitam a integração entre cooperados e suas cooperativas e destas entre si. As cooperativas têm características distintas dos outros atores do mercado, nos seus objetivos, na forma de gestão, na formação do capital e na sua identificação com a comunidade onde atuam. O desenvolvimento das cooperativas agropecuárias no Paraná é resultante dos Projetos Integrados de Cooperativismo (PICs), implementados a partir de 1972. O modelo previa cooperativas singulares, cada qual com sua área de ação, com o objetivo de proporcionar assistência técnica, creditícia e apoio logístico aos produtores associados, e centrais cooperativas, por região, para industrialização e comercialização da produção. Os resultados proporcionados pelos projetos integrados são evidentes, pois, quase 60% da produção agropecuária atual provém das cooperativas em todo o estado. Porém, ao longo do tempo, em razão do crescimento desigual das cooperativas, surgiram disputas por área de ação entre cooperativas e conflitos de interesses em relação às centrais que comprometeram o modelo de integração idealizado. Pesquisa de campo realizada para este estudo, mostra que 75% das pessoas que compõem o público interno das cooperativas – cooperados, dirigentes e funcionários, concordam que há concorrência entre cooperativas no Paraná. Trata-se de tema polêmico porém relevante para o desenvolvimento do cooperativismo paranaense, que concorre com grandes conglomerados econômicos nacionais e internacionais. A superação do dilema da integração constitui importante desafio às organizações cooperativas. Esta dissertação utiliza metodologia de análise de conteúdo, descrita por VERGARA (2007, p. 15) para extrair da bibliografia e da pesquisa de campo os resultados almejados. Com base na Teoria da Delimitação dos Sistemas Sociais, concebida por Guerreiro Ramos (1981), conclui-se que as cooperativas agropecuárias paranaenses são organizações de interesse econômico que apresentam características isonômicas de gestão. A maioria dos fatores que dificultam a integração nas cooperativas é originada de atitudes internas de cooperados e dirigentes, tais como: individualismo, falta de conhecimento sobre as cooperativas e falta de interesse em participar da cooperativa. Entre as ações que poderiam contribuir para a integração foi citada a necessidade de se constituir novo modelo de integração, apoiado por programas de educação, comunicação e capitalização em volumes compatíveis com as demandas dos projetos das cooperativas, tanto aos cooperados quanto para projetos integrados entre cooperativas.

This dissertation applies the theoretical perspective of gender relations and develops methods to understand and analyze the movement of women from the center of social systems to its margins when these systems are undergoing rapid socio-economic and political change. This research responded to the pressing need for the application of newer, more appropriate theoretical and methodological perspectives to examine shifting power relations between women and men in areas undergoing transformation. In the case study, I investigate the locus of power in a system of cooperatives in the Departement du Nord, Haiti and discover how and why female members are being relegated to the periphery of this development programme. I find that a system of gender-based social power is causing unequal opportunities and oppressive power relations for female members in the cooperatives. I analyze how and why this system of social power causes conflict when the interests of female and male members differ in the cooperatives and I explore strategies for change. This dissertation also contributes to a greater understanding of the power dynamics which exist when one group holds different preferences and practices to the dominant group whose framework is the one considered acceptable in the society.

The results showed that 75% of the respondents are employed by the agricultural cooperatives. Significantly, 90% agricultural cooperatives have members depends on agricultural cooperatives for income. It is noted that 10% of the agricultural cooperatives were established during the year 1993 and before significantly 8% (3) was operational in that particular year. Astonishingly, the results show statistically a constant growth by 45% of established and operational agricultural cooperatives in the year 2015 to 2016. The results shows that the operations of the agricultural cooperatives depended massively on the main activities associated and other several operational events such as funds, human resources and raw material.The outcome of the study was evident that even though some cooperative operate without proper management and monitoring and evaluations techniques, the cooperatives still contribute massively the local food nets and to the local economy within the study area.

Abstract:
While production and markets have been becoming more integrated since barriers to the international trade reduced, capital movements and the speed of spreading of technology increased with the progress of globalization, issues regarding to agriculture, environment, women, employment, and education became more critical. In this research, “by which functions and missions can agricultural cooperatives sustain their assets under globalized conditions” is the major research question. In the research, 19 cooperatives were chosen among 308 cooperatives, depending on their distance to Kastamonu, foundation year, and the amount of member. Subjects were determined by their traits and occupations. 164 subjects were interviewed via survey questions in 2014-2015. In research, “The situation-specific approach” model, developed by Hartmut Albrecht was applied. Because of the progress of change in organizational values, agriculture cooperatives have to undertake new functions in addition to maintaining agricultural production. The functions can be classified into 4 categories as socio-economic (taking local goods to international markets, recording incomes in the agriculture sector, and creating new employment positions to reduce migration to urban), international relations (developing new projects toward internationalizing to collaborate with other cooperatives), planning (making long-term strategic plans), and education (training women in rural areas, and obtaining their collaboration in cooperative campaigns, and educating future's cooperative managers).

Abstract:
The social economy provides participation of local actors in territorial development and local collective economic activity in order to increase quality of life of the population. This sector is highly diversified, in terms of legal form, size of enterprises, sectors and impact. After 1990, the concept of multifunctional agriculture began to be implemented in the EU, according to which agriculture should fulfill, among others, a social and cultural-social function. To a greater or lesser extent, agriculture had a social function in the past. This role is currently extended and supported by the concept of social agriculture. The aim of the paper is to examine the scope of social entrepreneurship and agriculture as a part of the social economy and its legal forms and types in European countries. The main sources of data for the preparation of the paper were the European Commission's country reports entitled Social Enterprises and Their Ecosystems in Europe (2020) and OECD analytical materials. Main result of the research is the finding that the diversity of the social economy, based on the historical background of its development in individual countries, is extensive. Legal forms are regionally specific. The cooperative form is the most widespread legal form of the social economy. There are specific types of cooperatives in countries. Cooperatives are located more in the countryside (associations and foundations are relevant for the urban environment). Social agriculture widely operates in the cooperative form.

Abstract:
At the current stage of development of the Georgian economy and in conditions of existing resources, only the agriculture sector can contribute to the reduction of high levels of poverty and unemployment in the country. Improper assessment of the role and importance of the sector, lack of programmes based on scientific research, inconsistent reforms led to the low competitiveness of Georgian agricultural production and the prevalence of imported products on the internal market. The aim of this paper is to assess the impact of tax reform on the development of the agriculture sector in Georgia, and to compare it with Latvia, as it has been implemented in both countries based on Estonian experience. It is substantiated by means of theoretical and empirical methods applied in the article, that the land reform, implemented in Georgia before the profit tax reform, as well as financing of certain projects in the sector, was carried out without proper analysis and assessment of expected risks. The research concludes that for the development of agriculture sector of Georgia, it is especially important, at the first stage, to elaborate and implement mechanisms of protection of internal market, develop the existing infrastructure, promote cooperative enterprises, extend tax benefits to all spheres of activities of agricultural cooperatives, commence the process of structural diversification and modernization of the sector, and overcome the obstacles existing on external markets.

Abstract:
Resilience is understood as the capacity of rural systems to transform and adapt, and this is key to achieving sustainable rural development. The aim of the research is to study resilience from a cooperative framework based on four concepts: persistence, adaptability, transformation capacity, and learning, and to collect successful strategies that encourage resilience. The research is part of a project called Rethink funded by the European Commission and state agencies of 14 European countries, included in the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) and the ERA-NET RURAGRI. The methodology is structured based on a common analytical framework that holds the four concepts of resilience applied to each of the key stakeholders (cooperative, public sector, private sector and civil society). The case study analyzed is a cooperative that has more than 25 years’ experience in agriculture during which it has demonstrated its capacity for renewal and recovery through its working model. The analysis covers the entire process of the cooperative, from previous experience of farmers, the creation of the company in 2007 to its current projects, focusing not only on market strategies, but also on its strategic vision and research investment, and on values such as trust and respect, on which the cooperative is based.

Abstract:
The agricultural land around Shanghai is famous for its huge population and intensive cultivation. With the expansion of the metropolis, a large number of agricultural people have entered the city to work, and rural land has been abandoned1,2. In 2009, Kunshan City implemented a land transfer system, and 99% of the cultivated land was packaged for large scale farmers, and initially realized large‐scale operation3 . However, the large‐scale business model has gradually experienced problems such as predatory management, ecological destruction, and no sense of social responsibility. Through the establishment of agricultural land share cooperatives, Changyun Village took the lead in realizing the collective management of agricultural land, taking shares in the land, giving priority to paying dividends to the land, and paying wages to the farmers working in the cooperative. The peasants' enthusiasm for entering the city has become an important buffer for the migrants to work in Shanghai and surrounding village.It has increased the employment rate. At the same time, it has supplied green agricultural products to the city, passed on agricultural technology, and activated local communities. This article intends to analyse the correlation between several village share cooperative models based on Changyun Village and the large family farm contracting model of more than ten villages, and the satisfaction of villagers, combined with property rights theory, scale economy theory, and accounting cooperatives. Cost‐benefit, evaluate the effect of “long cloud-style” collectivization on revitalizing the surrounding villages of metropolises and assess the satisfaction of governments at all levels. Through field interviews and questionnaire surveys, the correlation analysis of village cadres and villagers' satisfaction was conducted. The government is optimistic about the role of the "long cloud model" in grassroots management and improvement of people's livelihood. Even if public finances are required to invest a large amount of money, it is necessary to strengthen the medical and social security of the villagers. The government is also quite satisfied with the Changyun model. At present, the economic benefits of the stock cooperatives have steadily increased. Although the growth rate is not large, the villagers have a strong sense of well‐being, and the village's ecological environment has been improved. In the future, the cost of the village will be reduced after the large scale operation, and the overall economic benefits will be improved. The future research direction will be how to solve the specific problems that plague the cooperative's production and operation, such as low rice prices and lack of high value added finishing facilities to continue to activate the surrounding areas of the metropolis and improve the satisfaction of the government and villagers.
