Multi-household farming system in a northeastern Thai village: its transformation during economic development.
TLDR
Farming households with close kinship ties in northeast Thailand have long been practising joint utilization of farmland, but the share decreased drastically by 2000, and economic growth has reached a point where farmers have to discard the communal system and introduce a market system of land utilization, such as sharecropping.Abstract:

They used this multihousehold farming method even more actively to cope with the macroeconomic development beginning in the 1960s.
