The role of cooperatives to sustain small farms in organic agriculture: the cropp case

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyse how small farms and corporative firms are managed and which of them can best implement organic agriculture. Thus, I will focus on the implementation of organic practices on family farms, analysing how cooperatives can help to combat the inconvenience that this entails. To make this study, I have used a methodology based on a case study. This has helped to explain in a practical sense how the establishment of a cooperative is a type of business that helps the implementation of organic agriculture in an efficient and viable way.
