British co-operative movement The United Kingdom is home to a widespread and diverse co-operative movement, with over 7,000 registered co-operatives which are owned by 17 million individual members and which contribute £34bn a year to the British economy. Modern co-operation started with the Rochdale Pioneers' shop in the northern English town of Rochdale in 1844, though the history of co-operation in the UK can be traced back to before 1800. The British co-operative movement is most commonly associated with The Co-operative brand (best known for its supermarket and Funeralcare brands) which has been adopted by several large consumers' co-operative societies; however, there are many thousands of registered co-operative businesses operating in the UK. Alongside these consumers' co-operatives, there exist many prominent agricultural co-operatives (621), co-operative housing providers (619), health and social care cooperatives (111), cooperative schools (834), retail co-operatives, co-operatively run community energy projects, football supporters' trusts, credit unions and worker-owned businesses.

Matador Cooperative Farm The Matador Cooperative Farm, later known as the Matador Farming Pool, was an agricultural cooperative started on 10,000 acres of land near the town of Kyle, Saskatchewan in Canada. The land was donated by the provincial government and the cooperative was formed in 1946. The first members were a group of seventeen returning World War II veterans. Membership in the cooperative gradually declined, and the farm was sold to the Saskatchewan Land Bank Commission in 1975. Ten members leased some of the land and assets back, including the Kyle Seed Cleaning Plant and the Swift Current plant, which cleaned lentils, chick peas, and peas. The group also continued to raise wheat and cattle. In 2011, the cooperative disbanded and its assets were sold.
