Abstract: This research aims to update the debate on collectivism, the agrarian question and populism in light of the publication of the new agricultural corpus of Joaquín Costa by Cristobal Gómez Benito and Alfonso Ortí. This updating process seeks to connect the restricted historical sense of costian collectivism with the new broad conceptualization of common goods. Seen from the current transdisciplinary agroecological approach, one may characterize such nineteenth-century collectivism as narodnist environmental regenerationism (using the arguments of Joan Martínez Alier). It seeks to challenge and confront the global food supply system that is in the hands of multinationals. In this sense, agroecology tries to avoid degradation caused by synthetic chemistry’s negative effects on the health of living beings and the gradual deterioration of communal ecological goods such as air, water, land and biodiversity. The conclusion of these reflexions shows that both agroecology and common goods offer similar strategies for breaking out of the enclosures generated by capitalism.
