The agro-pastoral zone of central Benin is marked by the scarcity of watering points and the degradation of pastures. The use of agropastoral resources leads to conflicts between farmers and pastoralists. The present article on the management of agro-pastoral conflicts in the Benin center, aims to studying the modes of management of agropastoral conflicts by the protagonists. Specifically, it is a question of determining the causes of the conflicts between farmers and herders, to make the typology of the conflicts of use of the agropastoral resources, and to determine their modes of regulation by the different actors. The methodological approach adopted consisted of a field survey, and an analysis of the different conflicts and their method of settlement. The data processing revealed five types of conflict and two modes of dispute resolution according to the protagonists.
