The research theme is the human right to food of the salaried rural workers of the sugarcane industry in the state of Goiás, expressed in the proposed collective negotiations signed by the rural workers‟ union and in the daily life of sugarcane cutting workplaces. The objective is to analyze the political organization and struggle of salaried rural workers of the sugarcane industry in Goiás for their human right to food. The research methodology prioritized a qualitative approach, through a combination of documentary survey and case study. In this case study, free observations and semi-structured interviews were conducted, and they were targeted to the leaders of rural workers‟ unions in the state of Goiás and to salaried rural workers of the sugarcane agribusiness. International Organizations such as the UN and the FAO, based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, have been conducting the States to make commitments for the positivization and enforcing of human rights to food. The Brazilian government established laws and public policies that aim to guarantee the human right to food, but this is not guaranteed in the reality of the rural workers of the sugarcane industry in the state of Goiás. Given the absence of the state, trade union leaders of rural workers seek, through collective bargaining, to implement the prescribed rights and to fight for the inclusion of the human right to food. The business sector of sugarcane-alcohol agribusiness has repeatedly denied the implementation of the right to quality food in a satisfying quantity. Salaried rural workers of the sugarcane industry in the state of Goiás failed to ensure the quantity and quality of food and they experience famine situations in the sugarcane cutting work fronts. It follows that the salaried rura l workers are still fighting for their right to food to be guaranteed by the sugarcan e-alcohol agribusiness installed in Goiás.
