This Law sets forth basic procedures and rules for the defining and allocation of pasture areas to various villages and municipalities. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs is authorized to determine the boundaries of pastures and their allocation to relevant entities. The procedure for this application is clearly defined in the Law. The finalized boundaries are then recorded to corresponding title deeds. Allocation process is renewed every five years. Area that can only be used after an improvement process can be leased to individuals and companies who would undertake their improvement. Areas that are allocated under this Law can not be used for any other purposes unless a written consent is obtained from the Ministry of Agriculture, and this consent can only be given under specific conditions that are set in the Law. The Law also has provisions to prevent overgrazing in those areas. A "Pasture Fund" will be established under the direct management of the Ministry of Agriculture for financing the activities set forth in this Law.
