Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.Landless Workers Movement, or in Portuguese Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra is a social movement in Brazil; it is the largest in Latin America, with an estimated 1.5 million landless members organized in 23 out of Brazil's 26 states. The MST states it carries out land reform in a country mired by unjust land distribution. They organize landless and impoverished farmers to realize their human rights. The MST fights for access to land on behalf of the dispossessed. They demand for the restoration of a social contract that provides a sustainable way of life for the poor living in rural areas. In Brazil, 1.6% of the landowners control roughly half of the land on which crops could be grown. Just 3% of the population owns two-thirds of all arable lands.
