00:21So far 1,500 field workers have come here with their agroecological production from 23 states

00:28plus the Federal District of Brasilia.

00:30There are tons and tons of very diverse food in a contrast sample with the prevailing production

00:36models of agribusiness in Brazil where production is concentrated in export commodities.

00:42Here the MST shows that it is possible to produce food to feed the Brazilian population in a context

01:13to plant and live.

01:15It is not by magic that the MST produces poison-free food to fit the Brazilian population.

01:20An agrarian reform is necessary for all of this and this is the sample brought here by the

01:25MST to Sao Paulo, the largest Brazilian city and in South America.
