Rural Brazil that means, when it comes to geographical area and population, Brazil is surely big time. But in every country, there’s something really captive in it. So what makes Brazil so special compared to other nations?

And by rare and unique, they cater wide range of different bird species plus they also cater their smile of happy people even with some poverty problems.

The Origin of Brazil’s official Name.

Brazil

Has been called by many names; Land of the Holy Cross, Land of Brazil, Land of Parrots or Land of the Palm Trees. But the word “Brazil” itself is actually comes from Brazilwood, a tree that once grew bountifully along the Brazilian coast. The Brazilwood produces a deep red dye which was highly valued by the European cloth industry and was the earliest commercially-exploited product from Brazil. Though Brazil now is the nation’s official name, it has been that in original Portuguese record, the official name of the land is “Terra da Santa Cruz” or the Land of Promise.

Rural Poverty in Brazil.

In recent years, Brazil has succeeded in significantly reducing its poverty rate both in rural and urban areas, thanks to its impressive economic growth and increased political focus on poverty. Approximately 40 million Brazilians have been able to step out of poverty and join the middle classes over the past decade. But, although Brazil is a middle-income country and a major industrial power in the region, hardship and huge income inequalities still remain widespread in parts of the country. Because of this, with so complications, Brazilians remain to be a Happy People.

There are groups in rural Brazil that merits special attention. Although there has been massive rural to urban migration in Brazil, nearly 40 million people still live in the countryside, and another 10 million live in towns with a population under 20,000.

There are also signs of urban to rural migration which lead to the lack of employment and income opportunities in large cities.

Many of the inhabitants of the countryside are rural workers in agriculture, with permanent or, more typically, seasonal employment, particularly in harvesting, an activity in which women and children are also involved. Although a large number of small family farmers have land of their own, millions of rural workers are landless because land tenure is extremely concentrated in Brazil.

In the face of slowness of official land reform, they began to invade unproductive properties in the 1990s. As a result of their organization and massacres of their activists in Rondônia and Pará, they entered the political limelight, and land reform was placed high on the political agenda.

The rural primary school in Brazil could make important contributions to rural development through its potential to involve adults (parents) in democratic group decisions. The system as it now stands, however, is rigidly hierarchical and allows no space for participation of low income groups in upper-echelon decision making.
