Abstract: Dryland farming is a practice whose aim is to meet food needs and socio-economics of arid regions with scarce water resources, low fossils or fragile ecosystems. However, it is often a factor in environmental degradation. In fact, whether based on rainfed agriculture and irrigated, it deals with pastoralism or sedentary, there is a violation of basic components of ecosystems (soil, water, plants) in these regions, jeopardizing its sustainability with the economic consequences (loss of productivity of agricultural systems, living standards and purchasing power) and social (rural to urban, social peace threatened). Some strengths characterize these regions and should be valued. Firstly, the sun and wind can be a source of renewable energy use in agriculture to perform different tasks. If arid regions are defined as areas with low water resources, as is sometimes the case of a part of the Sahara, has immense underground water reserves. High temperatures and light soils conducive to the production of vegetables. Speculation specific commercially valuable as phoeniculture or great endurance as the camel. Agroecosystems (oases) adapted property and capitalize on the ecological factors of production and whose impact is not just agriculture. A rich flora of great value in an agronomic, environmental and medical. A certain tourist attraction. Know-how and adaptability of local populations to manage and support drylands harsh living conditions. Various development programs were implemented in these areas both to enhance agricultural production and protecting the environment, but it is clear that the objectives of these programs have not always met because they were n 'had no scientific basis and technical resources, did not mesh with the realities on the ground, were not associated with the populations involved and because the problem was too large and requires an interdisciplinary and intersectoral action. Political will is challenged here more than elsewhere, through the realization of a plan for long-term development of these areas where agriculture is indeed the focal area but must be accompanied by other sectors, hydraulics, industry, research, tourism, transportation, public works, crafts etc., as part of an integrated space. This sustainable development strategy must be developed in light of the specificities, strengths, constraints of arid, but also in light of experience and change the world.
