Abstract
JORGE, Aline Albuquerque and MACHADO, Angela dos Santos. Socio-Territorial Movements and the Combat Hunger During the New Coronavirus Pandemic in Brazil. Cuad. Geogr. Rev. Colomb. Geogr. [online]. 2023, vol.32, n.2, pp.438-456. Epub Mar 19, 2024. ISSN 0121-215X. https://doi.org/10.15446/rcdg.v32n2.95846.
In Brazil, the working class has been losing rights and suffering with the discontinuation of public policies. The current government's actions have been reflected in the increase of extreme poverty and, consequently, in the country's return to the hunger map. The new coronavirus pandemic has aggravated this circumstance. It is in this context that the food donations made by the Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (MST) [Landless Rural Workers Movement] and other socio-spatial and socio-territorial movements constitute important solidarity actions aimed at combating hunger. This work seeks to critically analyze and dimension the MST'S food donations. To do so, we executed bibliographic research and semi-structured interviews. It also sought and systematized news articles published by the MST, referring to donations made from March 2020 to March 2021. The survey indicates that food donations are a form of resistance and denouncement of the public power's absence and expressing solidarity. These actions reaffirm the need for a land reform.
Highlights:
reflection paper that addresses the solidarity actions executed by the MST in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil. We come from a perspective in which we understand social movements through geography, thus discussing the concepts of space, territory, socio-spatial and socio-territorial movements, as well as the MST'S concrete actions.
Keywords : Brazil; coronavirus; food donation; space; Landless Rural Workers Movement; socio-spatial movements; socio-territorial movements; territory.
