In this contribution, I explore the importance of agroecological education in the Brazilian Landless Workers' Movement (MST). I analyze how certain MST educational programs are based in a critical place-based pedagogy. This type of pedagogy can serve as a form of territoriality, influencing individuals' interactions with the land. Drawing upon a political ecology of education perspective, I conclude that MST educators can serve as Gramscian 'organic intellectuals', by using a critical pedagogy of place as a form of territoriality to: (1) create a conception of place that is not discrete, but instead relational, and (2) advocate counter-hegemonic land usage
