Brazil's longest land conflict ends with the creation of the Elizabeth Teixeira Agroextractive Settlement in Paraíba, benefiting 21 families. The settlement, established on Fazenda Antas, concludes a 60-year struggle for land rights. The federal government invested over R$8 million for the 133-hectare area. The conflict originated with the peasant leagues' fight for land, led by João Pedro Teixeira and later his wife Elizabeth, who faced persecution during the military dictatorship.
