Transformation• Value co-operation and are either
– incorporated as co-ops– co-operatively structured collectives– in process toward incorporation, with the stated intention to incorporate– utilize the co-operative principles within their governance as a guiding framework (ie. co-op-
minded)
• Centre around food and farming or have some component of food and farming within their activities
• Emphasize direct relationship: local, regional, sustainable food production and distribution, domestic or international fair trade
• Have a defined and stated environmental commitment, ie. organic, sustainable, Integrated Pest Management, wildcrafted, biodynamic, permaculture, etc.
• Uphold the principles of positively transforming the food system toward greater co-operation, sustainability, and resilience

If co-ops are so great, why isn’t everyone a co-op?
• Administratively burdensome• Co-op Lite?• Slow• Sweat Equity and Initial Capitialization is daunting• No one teaches us how to co-operate

Lifecycle of a Co-op
• Co-ops fill a need of a community, which is unaddressed by markets or governments
• When that need no longer exists, the co-op may cease to be relevant
• Mature and ageing co-ops may come to resemble corporations, without careful attention to maintaining their co-operative values
• Strawberry patch model and P6
