Description
Via JasEcon:
"Producer Cooperatives are cooperative associations of independent producers―farmers, fisherpeople, retail stores, and more―joining together to collectively purchase input materials and/or to market and sell goods and services. Like all cooperatives, they operate with a “one member, one vote” system. The degree of commitment to principles of social and economic justice varies dramatically from one co-op to the next, depending on the ethical and political committments of their members."
