"Brazilian agrarian question and neoliberalism: the right to sovereignty and security food as rural movements contra-hegemonic ways".
Neoliberalism, food sovereignty, food security, agrarian issues, Law founded in the street
This thesis is based on the following problem: how do collective subjects of law, organized in social movements for land struggles, complexify the Brazilian agrarian issue by strengthening the right to adequate food in its dimensions of food security and food sovereignty? The aim is to reflect on the contemporary Brazilian agrarian issue and its complexities against the takeover of the agrarian space by the neoliberal system, which has brought about severe consequences with regard to the availability of food. In this scenario, the most perverse effect is the worsening of hunger. Thus, if at first the design of land distribution coordinated the reflections on the Brazilian agrarian issue, today, with the worsening of hunger in the country, it is necessary to think about the right to food in the dimensions of food security and sovereignty. From this perspective, this work focuses on counter-hegemonic forms of struggle against the disastrous effects of neoliberalism in the countryside. Based on the theoretical framework of Law Found in the Streets, we intend to reflect on the ways in which the collective subjects of law organize themselves around the realization of the right to adequate food in front of a system that co-opts the legal system in order to make feasible its agendas of financialization of the field and dissemination of economic inequality. It is hoped that this thesis will contribute to the debates on confronting the neoliberal system, highlighting hunger as the main effect of the policies of financialization of the countryside.
