Abstract

BACKGROUND AND AIM: The study addresses the pesticide theme in documents from the Landless Rural Workers Movement (MST). Organized in 24 states, in the five Brazilian regions, there are 350 thousand families that conquered the land in Brazil through its organicity. The analysis sought to access and analyze the movement's official position in relation to the theme. METHODS: Adopts Thompson's (2001) historical-cultural and Hermeneutic Depth Hermeneutics perspective. With the organization and analysis of the corpus formed with institutional documents, we sought to analyze the formal (structural) aspects, of content, and ending with the interpretation-of-interpretation. RESULTS:The pesticide theme in the analyzed documents highlights a critical position about their impacts on socio-environmental health in the context of the challenges for promoting equity and environmental sustainability. CONCLUSIONS:The continuity of this study will consist of the evaluation of practices for the use and contamination by pesticides in settlements linked to the movement and human values. KEYWORDS: Social Movements, Agrarian reform, Pesticides, Depth Hermeneutics
