Soil policy
The main legislation related to soil is the Dahir n°1-69-170, containing 19 articles dedicated to the conventions for the realization of works outside of the national target perimeters for soil protection and restoration (title 1), the question on national target perimeters for soil protection and restoration (title 2), the control of Civil Service and the sanctions (title 3), and other provisions (title 4).
The main measure is the creation of areas called "perimeter defence and land reclamation in the national interest", where the state may impose measures and works necessary for the fight against erosion at the decree of the Minister of Agriculture and Agrarian Reform after consultation with the Ministers of the Interior and Finance.
