LandRush - Frontier Land
Frauke Huber, Uwe H. Martin

The soya highway connects the enormous farms in west Brazil to the Amazon harbor of Santarem. The road is the artery through which life flows into the region. In just forty years the road opened up the wilderness to commercial development which renders the land from forest to industrial.

The MST is a mass social movement, formed by rural workers fighting for land reform and against injustice and social inequality in rural areas. The MST became a national movement in 1984 and led more than 2,500 land occupations. About 370,000 families settle on 7.5 million hectares of land that they won as a result of the occupations.
