Abstract
The Rural Landless Workers’ Movement of Brazil is succeeding in its goal of organizing peasants into production and marketing cooperatives and giving them their own land to till and live above subsistence levels. The organization’s socialist character does not prevent it to compete effectively in the marketplace and allow individual households to own individual garden plots on which are planted crops of their choice.
