Abstract

This paper argues some initial reflections about the geographical dynamics of labour inside the debate of the Agrarian Reform and the Nourishing Sovereignty. Both questions are a product of the construction of the autonomy of the hard-working class to decide what food to produce, how to produce them, what quantity and quality and under what conditions etc. This construction can do feasibly the actions of social movements and other sectors organized towards the production of new references of society, product of the social conflict, of the ideological, partisan and academic disputes. Agrarian Reform and Nourishing Sovereignty will be able to announce really emancipations meanings only as arguments of the social movements and of the hard-working class.
