MST invades Bunge multinational's field.
The Bunge multinational's field in Luziânia (DF), near Brasília, was occupied by approximately 800 women linked to Via Campesina; "Bunge is one of the transnational corporations that represents foreign capital in agriculture and threatens the lives of thousands of women.
