A cross section research design was adopted. Systematic random sampling was used to acquire a total sample size of 120 farming households, 60 from a village with land use plan and 60 from a village without land use plan. Data were collected through administered estionnaires, key informant interview and focus group discussion. Statistical Package for Social Science programme was used for analysing quantitative data, whereby descriptive statistics, cross tabulation and t-test analysis were carried out. The content analysis was used to analyse qualitative information. The findings show that the average conflict cases were two and three per farming season in the village with and without land use plan, respectively. However, the findings were not significantly different at p=0.05 level. On food production, results show that the average number of maize bags produced in the land use plan village was 5.49 compared to 4.42 bags per acre in the village without land use plan. Based on the study findings, it is concluded that land use plan has no significant effects on household food production since cases of land conflicts in the study areas still persist. The study recommends that land use plan needs a strong institutional organ and committed leadership.
