Brian goes into detail, about how the brazillian constitution outlines that land has to have a social function and the whole landless workers movement, so it is literally a constitutional right and here is the archived article if you’d like to endure it yourself but just wanna say, the way brazillian agriculture business works means that while big farmers pay almost no taxes due to subsidies, most of what they produce, generally the better part of what they produce is sold internationally, while the landless workers are smaller farmers, and smaller and familiar farmers produce 70% of what brazillians eat, also a lot of that land that these bigger farmers have are literally stolen public lands so i don’t know it kinda isn’t even THEIR LAND

    well if no one's using it why shouldn't they. As the diggers pointed out unused land and hungry people is so immoral it's actually just stupid

      this also happens on a urban level, like there is also Landless urban workers movement that has ties to the rural one, there should not be empty unused land in cities with all the infrastructure already in place when people are sleeping on the streets or having to live on edge of the urban space and they have taken over some buildings over the years

        somehow the "most efficient system" takes issue with people in need of resources taking idle resources

    My partner and I have talked about moving to Brazil (she’s 1st Gen., family’s from bahia, kinda wants to go back) for awhile and if we do I’d love to get involved with this movement if I can help in someway

      Bahia is a real pretty place, like we from rio love to go on and on on how rio is real gorgeous, but the northeast of the country does give us a run for our money, it is a bit too hot sometimes though

        Yeah we watched some videos from some food YouTubers exploring there awhile back.

        She just wants to be by the beach wherever we end up haha.

        We’re going for a visit later this year and I figure we can scope out some places and see what seems like a good fit

    Why do you want it so much if you don't use it?
