Competition for natural resources use in crop and livestock production between herdsmen and farmers is a major threat to remote peace and national food security in Nigeria. The competition is mainly for use of water and land resources which is creating supremacy battle between the two stakeholders in Nigeria food production system. The two are major stakeholders because about \mbox{95\,\%} of Nigeria home"=grown beef supply is from the cattle under production of the herdsmen (nomads, sedentary pastoralists and agro"=pastoralists) while about \mbox{100\,\%} home"=grown staple foods, grains and vegetables are from crop production under the control of the farmers; therefore they are important stakeholders in Nigeria national life. In recent years, poor crop yield, increased demand for meat and other foods as result of Nigeria exponential population growth has naturally been contributing to this problem because both parties struggle to increase supply. This scenario perhaps can be describe as ``cold"=war'' between the two groups in almost every parts of Nigeria but appropriate measure has not been taken to address this problem because it usually carries socio"=political face"=values rather than resources use. 



Therefore, this study investigated solidarity use of resources among herdsmen and farmers in selected Nigerian rural communities. The study showed that there is usually shortage of feed resources for livestock consumption during some period yearly and this is a period when farming activities is usually minimal; recognition of these has led to solidarity use of competitive resources between herdsmen and farmers in some areas which has brought peace, increased food production and growth of agro"=pastoralism. The study then recommend that this solidarity model be campaign all over the country to avert herdsmen"=farmers clashes for promotion of National peace and food security in Nigeria. }
