Brazil's Landless Workers' Movement (MST)

Brazil's Landless Workers' Movement (MST) is a social organization advocating for land reform and the rights of rural workers. Founded in 1984, it seeks to address land inequality by occupying unused or underutilized land and transforming it into productive farms. MST promotes sustainable agriculture, education, and social justice, often challenging government policies and landowners to ensure fair land distribution. Its activities aim to empower impoverished rural populations, reduce poverty, and promote equitable access to land resources across Brazil.
