Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (MST) or Brazilian Landless Workers Movement is a Brazilian social movement that fights for land, agrarian reform and social transformation. Founded in 1984, MST was born out of the struggles of peasant farmers who were displaced from their lands, and thus motivated to fight against land tenure structures based on large plantation systems (latifundios). MST was supported by progressive sectors of churches, as well as urban and rural trade unions with progressive characteristics.

Currently, MST organizes more than 1.5 million people, in about 1,200 municipalities located in 23 states and Brasilia, the capital. About 380,000 families have won their land and now live in settlements. More than 60 cooperatives and approximately 100 associations are part of MST’s economic development strategy, which are building towards food sovereignty for Brazilian people.
