Displaying 15246 - 15250 of 15550Decree-Law No. 349/91 regulating the granting to small farmers and cooperatives of ownership rights to land expropriated under agrarian reform.
This Decree-Law seeks to reprivatize land expropriated in the areas subject to past agrarian reform and assigned to small farmers or cooperatives for cropping. With due regard to the agricultural land redistribution policy, the Decree-Law grants the same categories of beneficiaries full ownership of that land provided that they have farmed it effectively and rationally for a period of not less than 7 years from the date it was allocated to them.
Decree-Law No. 158/91 regulating the allocation of nationalized or expropriated land for cultivation.
With due regard to the crop farm redistribution policy, this Decree-Law defines the rules governing the allocation of expropriated or nationalized land which, with few exceptions, shall not be managed directly by the State or by public entities. It shall, in general, be allocated for cropping to private individuals or bodies corporate with sufficient professional competence. These are listed, in order of priority, as young farmers (between 18 and 40 years), small farmers (without a steady salary), and groups of rural workers (cooperatives, for instance).
Act No. 183 concerning the organizational and functional restructuring of land conservation.
Despite its title, this landmark statute provides the mechanisms for the implementation of a policy of integrated management of land and allied water resources, primarily in a non-urban context, and the institutional arrangements needed to administer and operate such mechanisms (sect. 1). It was enacted largely in response to the state of divided and compartmentalized responsibilities of the central, regional, and local governments in the management of the above-mentioned natural resources.
