Assentamentos Rurais

Assentamentos Rurais are rural settlements in Brazil established to provide land and support to families, particularly those without land or with limited resources. These settlements often arise from land reform policies aimed at redistributing land to promote social equity and improve living conditions. They typically involve collective farming and community cooperation, enabling residents to cultivate crops, raise livestock, and foster sustainable development. The focus is not only on agriculture but also on ensuring access to essential services like education and healthcare, contributing to community well-being and economic stability.
