Les terres collectives font l’objet depuis 2014 de plusieurs débats autour de la réforme de leur gestion. Trois nouvelles lois les concernant depuis fin 2019 promeuvent leur privatisation, appelée aussi melkisation, en favorisant l’investissement agricole par les ayants droit et l’ouverture aux investisseurs privés. Cet article propose une analyse croisée du processus politico-juridique de cette réforme et des réalités locales envisagées en termes d’accaparement de terres par les ayants droit.
