Community-based cooperatives (CBCs) represent a synthesis of community organizations and cooperative businesses. They combine advocacy, marketing and other services with democratic structures and participatory processes. Originating from the poor people's cooperatives of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and struggles for civil and economic rights, CBCs developed local, regional, national and international networks in a movement for livelihood security among small, limited resource and minority agricultural producers. This study focuses attention on four organizations, analyzing them from the micro to macro level: Beat Four Farm Cooperative, Mississippi Association of Cooperatives, Federation of Southern Cooperatives/Land Assistance Fund and Rural Coalition/Coalicion Rural. Utilizing a participatory social movement assessment framework, specific research methods included participant observation, individual and group key-informant interviews, focus groups and document review. Findings illustrate the historical development of CBCs and their network organizations, emphasizing their foundation in broader social movements. Focusing attention on a collaborative advocacy campaign, results suggest micro level concern with issues of production, marketing, financing, community structure and the applicability of government programs. Network organizations advocate for more targeted services for small, limited resource and minority producers and greater attention to power relations. These organizations also engage in marketing efforts including farmers markets, community food security and fair trade programs. To conclude, it is argued that in response to the challenges posed by dominant structures and processes, CBCs and their networks have developed counter-hegemonic institutions that illustrate the potential for an alternative organization of the agri-food system.
