MST (Movimento Sem Terra)

The Movimento Sem Terra (MST) is a social movement in Brazil advocating for land reform and fair distribution of land to landless farmers. It seeks to address inequalities by organizing land occupations, aiming to create productive, sustainable communities for those without land. MST emphasizes agrarian justice, environmental sustainability, and rural development, often engaging in protests and negotiations to influence governmental policies. It plays a significant role in Brazil’s agrarian landscape, representing marginalized farmers and pushing for more equitable land ownership and agricultural practices.
