MST (Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra)

The MST, or Landless Workers' Movement, is a social movement in Brazil that advocates for land reform and the rights of rural workers. Established in 1984, it seeks to address the inequality in land distribution and improve living conditions for landless farmers. The MST organizes occupations of unproductive land, presses for governmental reforms, and promotes cooperative farming. Its goal is to empower marginalized communities and ensure access to land for sustainable agriculture, social justice, and better livelihoods, ultimately aiming to create a fairer society for rural workers.
