Movimiento de los Sin Tierra (MST)

The Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (MST) is a prominent social movement in Brazil that advocates for land reform and the rights of rural workers without land. Founded in 1984, MST organizes land occupations to press for equitable land distribution and social justice, emphasizing sustainable practices and rural development. They aim to empower marginalized farmers, promote food sovereignty, and challenge land concentration by large agribusinesses. MST operates through protests, occupations, and educational initiatives, seeking systemic change to create a more just and sustainable rural society.
