MST political and economic mobilization in Brazil

Overview

The Landless Workers' Movement (MST) has engaged in political and economic mobilization efforts in Brazil. In August 2026, the movement initiated mobilization for the upcoming 2026 elections, centering its platform on ‘Popular Agrarian Reform’. During national and regional meetings, such as in Paraná, the MST gathered political leaders and candidates to advocate for land access, food sovereignty, and opposition to the far-right.

Following these political efforts, the movement expanded its economic and social presence in Pernambuco through the ‘Armazéns do Campo’ network. This initiative focuses on connecting family farmers and agrarian reform cooperatives with urban consumers by selling pesticide-free products. The expansion includes reopening and relocating units in Caruaru and Recife, as well as establishing a new unit in Petrolina, to serve as hubs for food commercialization, culture, and political articulation.
