Assentamento

An "Assentamento" is a term used mainly in Brazil to describe a type of land settlement or small community established by groups of people, often small farmers or families, on land they occupy. It typically refers to a formal or informal agreement regarding land use and rights, often occurring in rural areas. These settlements can be part of efforts to organize land distribution, improve living conditions, and promote sustainable development. Essentially, an Assentamento represents a collective effort by individuals or families to establish and coexist sustainably on specific parcels of land.
