Cairo – January 26, 2026
The Egyptian government continues its efforts to protect agricultural land as one of the main pillars of food security and sustainable development, amid growing challenges such as climate change, population growth, and urban encroachment.
Relevant authorities have announced a set of stricter measures to limit encroachment on agricultural land, including:
Intensifying inspection and monitoring campaigns in governorates with high agricultural density.
Strict enforcement of laws against illegal construction on agricultural land.
Using digital monitoring systems and satellite imagery to detect violations at early stages.
These steps come as part of a national strategy aimed at preserving agricultural land and increasing local production of strategic crops.
Alongside protection efforts, the government is working to support farmers through:
Expanding the use of modern, specialized fertilizers to improve fertilization efficiency.
Raising agricultural awareness about best practices for soil and water management.
Encouraging the adoption of integrated agricultural solutions that help improve soil fertility and increase productivity.
Experts emphasize that protecting agricultural land is not limited to preventing encroachment, but also includes improving soil quality and maximizing yield per unit area.
Protecting agricultural land represents a cornerstone for achieving self-sufficiency in crops and reducing reliance on imports, especially in light of global economic changes. These efforts also contribute to ensuring the sustainability of natural resources for future generations.
