Doação de alimento orgânico por agricultores do Movimento Sem Terra (MST) durante a pandemia covid-19: impacto para famílias em vulnerabilidade social no município de Laranjeiras do Sul – Paraná

Abstract

This master's project aims to understand the impacts of the donation of agroecological food by the MST to families with social vulnerability in the municipality of Laranjeiras do Sul during the period of the Covid-19 pandemic. The Covid-19 pandemic brought with it a series of socioeconomic challenges, especially affecting populations in a situation of social vulnerability. In this context, the MST, known for its actions in the struggle for agrarian reform and the appreciation of family farming, has stood out for its solidarity initiatives, such as the donation of organic food produced by its farmers. Interviews surveys will be carried out to collect qualitative and quantitative data on the perception of the beneficiary families, the quality of the food received, the nutritional diversity provided and the effects on the families' income and autonomy. It is hoped that the results of this study will contribute to knowledge about the solidarity actions promoted by the MST during the pandemic, highlighting the importance of donating organic food to improve the living conditions of families in situations of social vulnerability. In addition, it intends to provide subsidies for the formulation of public policies and strategies to support family farming and food security in times of crisis. This master's project proposes to provide an in-depth analysis of the impact of organic food donations by MST farmers during the Covid-19 pandemic, contributing to the understanding of the challenges faced by families in social vulnerability and highlighting the importance of initiatives to solidarity to face socio economic crises and guarantee the right to adequate food.
