Abstract:
This research intends to analyze whether agrarian reform is capable of resolving conflicts
in the countryside, and also seeks to understand the role of the National Institute of
Colonization and Agrarian Reform (INCRA) and the Movement of Landless Rural Workers
(MST) in this process. . It consists of an effort towards the reconstruction of knowledge
about Agrarian Law, in sense of contribution to understanding, primarily aimed at rural
workers, and the landless, but not individualizing, seeking to bring knowledge to all who
feel interested in learning more About the subject. The agrarian structure in Brazil is
divided in a very unequally way and only with the agrarian reform this expected change
can occur. As mentioned above, the research problem is presented: Are there conflicts
motivated by the agrarian issue in Brazil? What is the function of agrarian reform in
resolving conflicts in the countryside? And what is the objective of INCRA and MST in this
process? Also, what are the requirements and criteria for the agrarian reform policy? The
problematizations of the researched object occurred in the sense of understanding
agrarian reform as a public policy capable of contributing to a better organization of the
land structure in Brazil. The objective of this monograph is to understand the agrarian
reform policy, seeking to strengthen its implementation process in a fairer and egalitarian
way, aiming to give opportunities to farmworkers who intend to produce in the lands to be
acquired through agrarian reform. The methodology adopted on the development of this
paper was qualitative, through bibliographical research of doctrines, legislation,
government documents and scientific articles about agrarian reform. Bibliographies will be
searched from the FacMais Library, from the advisor professor's private collection, and
also from internet texts. The conclusion of the research points out that there are social
inequalities in the division of existing lands and that there is a great social gap, where the
struggle for agrarian reform is the cause of conflicts, but there are government assistants
such as INCRA, to help landless farm workers in better inclusion in the inequality of equal
distribution.
