Zebu/Brahma cattle grazing near a water hole in the interior of Paraíba. Land ownership continues concentrated in the hands of the elite in Brazil. In addition to skewed land ownership patterns, adverse climatic conditions in the form of prolonged droughts and rural labor surplus have helped increase the flow of migrants from the interior to the cities, especially from the Northeast.Gado zebu/brama pastando próximo a um poço de água no interior da Paraíba. A propriedade de terras continua concentrada nas mãos da elite brasileira.
