Land consolidation and co-operative farming constitute two alternatives amongst many others that are very often adopted as viable strategies to increase land productivity through economies of scale. However, this study suggests that the two options should be analysed cautiously not only with an economic feasibility study but also with a social dimension of their implications. Farmers are not homogenous and their interests and even motivation differ accordingly. The success of any collective action depends largely on the way the socio economic implications ofland consolidation and co-operative farming are analysed and reflected before their implementation.
