Resumo
This dissertation draws the critical analysis of the construction of the agroecology role discurse in the agrarian program of the MST (“Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra”, an acronym that means “Landless Rural Workers Movement” in english), in its socio-environmental aspect, using as a method the dialectical historical materialism and, as category of analysis, the metabolism human being / nature. For the development of the dissertation, a literature review was carried out on the Brazilian agrarian question of the XXI century, focusing on understanding the breakdown of the metabolism between human being and nature, in order to contextualize the reality in which the MST is inserted and about what it fights for. Subsequently, a literature review was elaborated on the theoretical foundations of agroecology, with the aim of drawing the theoretical basis on science, since the MST was based on these. After all, an analysis of MST public discourse was carried out in the published documents in the light of the theoretical authors who study agroecology in order to reveal how MST relates agroecology to the proposal of social transformation and to the principles of environmental sustainability. In addition, this dissertation intends to analyze what elements brought by the theoretical authors were reaffirmed or denied by MST in the construction of agroecology in its political program. The results of the analysis reveal that the MST brings the construction of an agroecology beyond a concept or sustainable practices, transcending the defense of an academic, institutional, and reformist agroecology. That is, it brings the agroecology as a strategy for the model of agriculture operation proposed by the movement, which is based on social transformation for the people and on environmentally sustainable basis. Therefore, the role of agroecology, according to the MST, goes against the reality posed by the contradictions produced by (and inherent to) the capitalist mode of production, a model of agricultural production of economic and social rationality, a system that only aims at profit and nothing else.
