Collective farming is defined as a form of agricultural production in which the holdings of several farmers are run as a joint enterprise. (Brown, L.

Collenchyma is the main supporting tissue of growing organs with walls thickening during and after elongation. (Olivier Leroux, Collenchyma: a versatile mechanical tissue with dynamic cell walls, Annals of Botany, Volume 110, Issue 6, November 2012, Pages 1083–1098, https://doi.org/10.1093/aob/mcs186)
The colloidal properties include surface groups, hydrophilicity, isoelectric point, Hamaker constant, etc., and they are useful to control to dispersion of particles in solutions or preventing agglomeration of particles (Encyclopedia of Materials: Technical Ceramics and Glasses, 2021)
Finely divided material dispersed in a different phase, with a particle size lying within the range 1-1000 nm in diameter. In soils: a soil particle of very small size (from 0.5 µm to 1 µm), either mineral (e.g. colloid clay) or organic (e.g. humus). Because of their high surface area, such particles usually exhibit strong exchange properties. (FAO Fisheries Department (2003) Simple methods for aquaculture / Méthodes simples d'aquaculture.

Detritivores are heterotrophs that obtain nutrients by consuming detritus (decomposing plant and animal parts as well as feces). (Adapted from: Food Webs, In: General Ecology. Libre Texts. https://bio.libretexts.org/Workbench/General_Ecology_Ecology/Chapter_19%3A_Food_Webs?readerView)
Note
Detritivores should be distinguished from other decomposers, such as many species of bacteria, fungi and protists, which are unable to ingest discrete lumps of matter.
The native range of this species is India to S. China and Sumatera. It is a tuberous geophyte and grows primarily in the wet tropical biome. It is used as animal food, a poison and a medicine, has environmental uses and social uses and for food. (POWO. Colocasia esculenta (L.)

The Colombo Plan for Cooperative Economic and Social Development in Asia and the Pacific is a regional inter-governmental organisation consisting of 28 member countries and operates on the partnership concept of self-help and mutual help to enhance human capital development and south-south cooperation.

Colonialism, broadly defined, is the presence of foreigners in a region at some distance from their place of origin, involved in asymmetrical relationships of domination and exploitation of local populations. (Jamieson, Ross. (2008). Colonial praxis. 10.1016/B978-012373962-9.00061-3.)
The thin, yellow, serous fluid secreted by the mammary glands during pregnancy and immediately postpartum before lactation begins. It consists of immunologically active substances, white blood cells, water, protein, fat, and carbohydrates. (MeSH https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/68003126)
