      abstract = {This study examines Fulani herders' conflicts' complex economic effects on Nigerian farmers, providing a nuanced understanding of their struggles. A comprehensive survey gathers community opinions on economic losses, financial issues, and government relief measures. The study illuminates the economic effects of displacement on displaced farmers. Results show that respondents believe conflicts are harmful, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions to help affected farmers. The study evaluates government relief measures' efficacy, helping improve policies and programmes. It also examines the community's views on sustainable land-use practices and conflict resolution, showing widespread optimism. The overwhelming support for community engagement and collaboration in developing economic mitigation strategies is highlighted. Most respondents believe inclusivity, local knowledge, and community-driven initiatives are essential to mitigation strategy development. The research acknowledges community diversity, including minority perspectives, deepening understanding of challenges and expectations. This recognition deepens community dynamics understanding and informs context-specific interventions.
