Abstract
This article deals with the reorganization of food distribution networks in an urban context characterized by high-intensity violence. This will be described through a case study on the Indonesian town of Ambon which was subject to an interreligious conflict from 1999 until 2002. First, it will be shown how a spatial restructuring of food distribution networks unfolded. Secondly, due to a dramatic economic decline ensuing from this conflict, major parts of the population were forced to revert to income generation strategies in informal economies. Therefore, selling in new petty food markets came to serve as the most important mechanisms to cope with increasing food insecurity.
