This study tries to gain a deep insight into the nature of the presumed relationships between conflict, food security and peace. First it charts out how the landscape of conflict and violence has changed in recent decades and shows how food security and nutrition outcomes vary across different types of conflict and identifies the conditions that seem to influence those outcomes the most. Subsequently, it reviews the evidence on the channels through which conflict and violence affect food security and nutrition across conflict areas. Having completed this review, the paper discusses available evidence on how food insecurity and other development deficiencies may trigger or compound other drivers of conflict. In its last part the paper discusses what responses and response mechanisms seem to have been most effective in minimizing the impacts of conflict on food security and to what extent efforts at enhancing resilience and improving food security can contribute to avoiding conflict and help build sustainable peace.
