Two rival community-run urban farming collectives, "GreenHaven" and "UrbanSprout", have developed intense hostility towards each other. This conflict began after the local council announced that only one collective would be awarded a long-term lease on a highly fertile plot of vacant land in the city center. Since then, members of GreenHaven and UrbanSprout have been caught sabotaging each other's irrigation systems and posting false negative reviews about each other's produce online.
Explain the hostility between the members of the two collectives using Realistic Conflict Theory.
