We propose to examine the way in which land reorganisation takes place, through the actions undertaken by agents of national and international capital with the backing of the Brazilian state; which act on the land structure not with the intention of changing it, but rather to make it even more concentrated and inaccessible to thousands of workers in the struggle for land, always acting where there is tension, in an attempt to destructure social movements and historical struggles for access to land, thus transforming agrarian reform from a social and economic problem into a market issue, through programmes that favour the purchase and financing of land, to the detriment of expropriation and redistribution. Here we combine two scales of analysis: the one that focuses on the general implications of the Brazilian agrarian question and that of Banco da Terra in the country's land system, in order to position the debate from an empirically based investigation: the Banco da Terra groups in Londrina and Tamarana.
