Políticas públicas e reforma agrária: governos Dilma e Bolsonaro e suas ações para a consolidação da reforma agrária

Abstract

The research analyzes public agrarian reform policies in the governments of Dilma and Bolsonaro, also evaluating the actions taken by these governments to consolidate agrarian reform and its impacts on the lives of rural workers in Brazil. To conduct this research, qualitative methods were used. The qualitative approach was used through the analysis of publications, reports, theses, dissertations and articles in scientific journals, in addition to consultations with data from DATA LUTA - Database of the Fight for the Earth, especially reports from the years 2010 to 2022. Research results indicate divergences in the approaches adopted by the Dilma and Bolsonaro governments in relation to agrarian reform. While the Dilma government prioritized the expropriation of land and the implementation of rural settlements to consolidate agrarian reform, the Bolsonaro government took a contrary stance, as it reduced the resources allocated to this policy and relaxed the rules for land acquisition by foreigners. It is concluded that agrarian reform plays a crucial role as a public policy to promote social justice in rural areas and guarantee the right to land for rural workers. To achieve these objectives, it is imperative that Brazilian governments, in future political circumstances, demonstrate effective political commitment. Furthermore, civil society and social movements play a vital role in continuing to fight for agrarian reform and safeguard the rights of rural workers.
