This study focuses on the metropolitan area of Constantine, a territory of regional attraction, capable of stimulating the
development of the wilaya in the coming years thanks to a diversified and multifunctional peri-urban agriculture. The
study is based on a questionnaire survey carried out throughout the study area. Specifically in the municipalities of
Hamma and Khroub, the results show that, despite the progression of urbanization, the Constantine Urban Group
contributes 37% of the total production of the wilaya in 2022. This production is characterized by a certain diversity:
cereal crops, market gardening and arboriculture are the pillars of agriculture in Constantine. Beyond its primary
vocation, this agriculture contributes to the attractiveness of territories and landscapes that reflect the image of the city,
to the management and protection of natural resources, while shaping rural landscapes”.
