Brazilian Landless Workers' Movement (MST)

The Brazilian Landless Workers' Movement (MST) is a social movement advocating for land reform in Brazil. It aims to address land inequality by organizing landless farmers to occupy unused or underused land, with the goal of transforming it into productive, sustainable farms. MST promotes land redistribution, rural development, and social justice, often challenging government and corporate land policies. The movement emphasizes the rights of small farmers, environmental sustainability, and rural poverty alleviation, and it has become one of the largest and most influential movements for land reform in Latin America.
