The FAO Legal Office provides in-house counsel in accordance with the Basic Texts of the Organization, gives legal advisory services to FAO members, assists in the formulation of treaties on food and agriculture, for which the Director-General acts as Depositary, publishes legal studies and maintains a database (FAOLEX) of national legislation and international agreements concerning food and agriculture (including fisheries, forestry and water).
Cette loi fixe le mode d'exploitation des terres agricoles. L'Etat est propriétaire, mais la loi consent aux collectifs agricoles un droit de jouissance cessible et perpétuel des terres. La loi décrit la nature et la composition des collectifs. Les agriculteurs acquièrent tous les droits sur ces terres, à l'exception du droit de propriété. Les collectifs doivent verser une redevance à l'Etat. Celui-ci cesse de rémunérer les travailleurs agricoles. Cette loi abroge l'ordonnance nº 68-653 du 30 décembre 1968 et les articles 858 à 866 de l'ordonnance nº 75-58 du 26 septembre 1975.
This Law focuses on the reorganization of landownership subject to agricultural land projects. It provides for ways to compensate landowners for expropriation and gives indications concerning the recording of land. It is the duty of the Lands and Appropriation Committee to notify the corresponding Real Estate Registration Department.

Such land must be registered and recorded by the Governments at the county level. State-owned land may be used by units or by individuals and is recorded by local People's Governments.
Authorized under section 112 of the Water Act 1989 (a summary was published in FAO Food and Agricultural Legislation No. 39, Dec. 1990, p.51), this Order designates certain lands as Nitrate Sensitive Areas (Schedule 3) to prevent or control the entry of nitrate into controlled waters in connection with the use of any land for agricultural purposes. This Order applies to England only.
Para identificar y seleccionar las zonas de reforma agraria, se deberá establecer la orden de prioridad de los municipios que pueden ser objeto de programas con arreglo a los criterios establecidos en la decisión del Instituto Colombiano de la Reforma Agraria (INCORA). Estos criterios comprenden, entre otros, la concentración de la propiedad rústica, el nivel de desarrollo económico, la calidad de vida y la disponibilidad de tierras.
