ABSTRACT
The Landless Workers' Movement (MST) has participated in several solidarity actions since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, above all, the donations of food produced in land reform territories (settlements) and in land struggle territories (camps). Food donations highlight the importance of agrarian reform for food production, the reduction of social inequalities, the promotion of agroecology and food sovereignty. All these elements are intrinsic to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda of the United Nations. This study highlights the importance of agrarian reform and the contribution of movements to achieve the SDGs, in a context in which the State moves in the opposite direction to what is proposed by the Agenda. The data on solidarity actions were collected on social networks and on the MST website, systematized in a spreadsheet and mapped with the Philcarto software. Results are discussed with the support of bibliographies, UN documents and interviews with MST leaders. The analysis indicate that socio-territorial movements have been building sustainable territories that contribute to the SDGs.
