This study was carried out in Delta Central Agricultural Zone of Delta State, Nigeria to examine the management of farmer-herder conflicts by community development committees (CDCs). The study revealed that farmer-herder conflicts were caused by the destruction of crops by cattle, competition for land, cattle rustling, female harassment and ethnic differences. Measures taken to manage the conflicts included formation of local farmers' associations; compensation of aggrieved parties; punishment of offenders, particularly rustlers; and educating farmers and herders on their interdependence.
