'The MST promotes the Land Struggle Prize to honor people who fight for agarian reform in society, as well as outstanding MST militants. The prize has various categories, each of which bears the name of a great social fighter. The Josué de Castro Prize is awarded to militants who perform technical and administrative tasks' (Fernandes, Bernardo Mançano e Stedile, João Pedro.
