Abstract

This article aims to highlight the importance of Food and Nutritional Sovereignty and Security (SSAN) and solidarity in the pandemic period, in order to legitimize the need for a rapprochement between the countryside and the city, with the food produced by family and peasant agriculture as its centrality, within the Popular Social Movements of the countryside. As well as, to present data that demonstrate the importance of the work developed by the Movement of Landless Rural Workers – MST in the areas of Agrarian Reform, provoking reflections that contribute to the change of our eating habits, understanding that the act of eating is a political act. To this end, based on news published on websites, we seek to meet the objectives of this research, addressing the facts selected according to the pandemic period and the relevance of Popular Social Movements in the construction of Food Sovereignty in Brazil.
