This research project aims to understand how agrarian social movements are incorporating the issue of climate change into their mobilization strategies for struggles over land and territories. It seeks to analyze the narratives, discourses, and collective actions that attempt to articulate the agrarian question with the environmental question. The theoretical framework is grounded in critical Latin American social thought, drawing on debates within the fields of social sciences and geography. We mobilize the perspective of political ecology to articulate theory and political action. Methodologically, the research will involve semi-structured interviews with representatives of agrarian movements, analysis of news coverage and social media (Instagram, Facebook), as well as documents produced and made available by the movements themselves. In addition, we propose conducting fieldwork, to be defined, in order to explore these issues in greater depth through participant observation. The project also seeks to contribute to the formulation of public policies for sustainable rural development, from the perspective of the subjects who experience their territories, recognizing the production of knowledge by social movements, their imaginaries, and their social practices.
