Abstract

This study examines the impacts of the National Plan “Plant Trees, Produce Healthy Food,” promoted by the Landless Workers’ Movement (MST), in strengthening agro-environmental and resilience in Agrarian Reform settlements and camps, focusing on Milton Santos Settlement, in Atalaia, Alagoas. Using the Rapid Participatory Diagnosis (RPD) methodology and the SWOT matrix (Strengths, Opportunities, Weaknesses, and Threats), the main challenges and potentialities for implementation of the plan were identified. The results highlight the lack of technical assistance, expanded access to public policies, and training for seedling production, while emphasizes the importance of communitary reunion, land ownership, and agroecological practices as tools to address the environmental crisis. The study indicates that integrating local knowledge with institutional support as essential to establish the plan as a sustainable and resilience strategy.
