One of the key objectives of the public authorities is essentially based on the possibility of maintaining agricultural activities in mountain areas, all in does not dissociating the rural population, considered as the real engine of any rural development. Agricultural land in these areas, often "private" property and "arch" is hampered by a number of endogenous constraints in the image of excessive inheritance and fragmentation of land generation to generation. Therefore, the agricultural area exploited in these areas is seen to decline, on the one hand, and new agricultural investors targeting these areas are struggling to realize their projects fault of farmland on the other. This issue has created a strong demand for land in rural areas often located in forested areas. Therefore, a set of legal rules has emerged. This is the Executive Decree No. 01/87 from 05 April 2001 laying down the conditions and terms of use exemption under the provisions of Article 35 of Law No. 84-12 of June 23, 1984 amended and supplemented, establishing general forest regime, in particular Article 5. In the wilaya of Skikda, a program in this framework spanning 03 phases was initiated targeting mountainous municipalities to secure the population in these rural areas and extend as far as possible, their agricultural area farmed.enArticle
