ONFLICT AND CONLICT RESOLUTION IN AGRICULTURE

Conflict and Conflict Resolution in Agriculture by Dr. Taibatu Abdullahi Manga is a comprehensive and empirically grounded study of the causes, impacts, and solutions to conflicts in agricultural systems. The book explores the multifaceted nature of agricultural disputes, including land tenure battles, farmer-herder conflicts, water resource struggles, and tensions between smallholder farmers and corporate agribusiness. The book is structured across nine chapters that examine conflict from historical, legal, institutional, and socio-cultural perspectives. Dr. Manga highlights the importance of traditional conflict resolution methods such as mediation by elders and community leaders, while also assessing modern legal frameworks, policy interventions, and technological tools like GIS and mobile-based early warning systems. She emphasizes the role of climate change, demographic pressures, and political manipulation as exacerbating factors in agricultural disputes.
