This empirical study focuses on the impact of Herder-Farmer conflicts in FCT. Data on herder-farmer conflict indicators were obtained through a structured questionnaire from 394 residents in three Area Councils out of the six Area Councils in FCT, namely: Gwagalada, Kuje and Kwali. The study adopts a descriptive and inferential statistical analysis using Probit Regression Model. The impact of Herder-Farmer conflicts in FCT is evident as significant explanatory variable coefficients were statistically significant except for the residents' awareness, which was found to be insignificant. From the study's findings, the herder-farmer conflicts greatly affect food security in FCT. The study recommended that Security personnel should protect the lives and property of those impacted by herderfarmer conflicts, and provide adequate security for farmers and those working in the agribusiness to allow for the easy transportation of farm products to market. The anti-open grazing rule, which forbids herders from moving their livestock in public areas, should be put into practice to resolve the herder-farmer disputes. Given their proximity to the herder-farmer conflict's victims, state governments ought to be trusted with finding a solution
