| description | This article aims to discuss agroecology as political discourse. It draws on research by Altieri, Nichols, Glisseman, Gúzman and Cristoffoli, amongst others, in order to show the trajectories of agroecology as a science and the attempts to establish agroecology in land reform areas. This is followed by an analysis of agroecology in the political practice of the MST (Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra – Landless Workers’ Movement), from model experiments to political discourse to counteract the hegemonic model of the Green Revolution. Finally, it focuses on the case of the 17 April Settlement in Eldorado dos Carajás, emphasising how the political discourse of agroecology represents an important strategy in the MST in terms of a paradigm shift in the mindset of the settlers and local leaders of the movement, highlighting this as a major step towards establishing alternative mixed farming production in land reform areas in Brazil. |
