The idea
We are interested in learning from cooperative experiences in Israel and Argentina and exploring which elements could be adapted to Costa Rica. Participation would be voluntary, based on families' interest in building a shared project with agreed goals and responsibilities.
The design would need to establish how people participate, how work is compensated and how costs and income are distributed. We also want to examine ownership and use of shared resources, equipment maintenance and the decisions each family would retain.
We also want to explore collaboration with Jewish and Israeli families, producers and investors interested in agricultural projects in Costa Rica. That possibility would need to be built around their interests, productive viability and clear agreements.
The purpose
Create conditions that make rural life and production a sustainable choice for interested families.
How we envision it
Study joint purchasing, shared equipment, technical training and marketing agreements, while recognizing the value of each person's work.
