| Abstract | ||||
| This research aims to make an economic analysis of the encroachments on agricultural land in Egypt to identify the most important figures and causes of infringement on agricultural land. Of the most important reasons for infringing on agricultural land in Egypt, came the desire to build a house for the family and the increase of the rural family and poverty in the countryside, 1- The region of lower Egypt came in the first place at the level of the Republic in terms of the number of cases of infringement and the area of agricultural land infringed upon, followed by the region of Upper Egypt, and Central Egypt, then the New Valley area. 2- The little amount of the removed infringements compared to the amount of encroachment on agricultural land. 3- The value of losses as a result of encroachment on agricultural land at the level of the Republic in the winter and summer crops amounted about 1,71 billion pounds and 246,9 million pounds, respectively. The research recommends the following: 1- Paying due care to the establishment of new urban communities full of residential and industrial facilities and services for young people. 2- The immediate removal of the entire building without resorting to the prosecution or the judiciary. | ||||
