Coagriculturist

/ˌkoʊəɡˈrɪkəltʃərɪst/ noun

Definition

A person who practices agriculture together with others; a farmer who collaborates in farming.

Etymology

From co- (together) + agriculturist (from Latin agricultura, farming). This term reflects modern cooperative farming movements.

Kelly Says

Coagriculturists in Kenya's cooperative farms increased their crop yields by 40% because they shared knowledge, equipment, and labor—individual farming couldn't compete.
