The paper is part of the debate about food poverty, and it deals the theme through the practices. Using the conceptualization of foodscape, the paper will discuss the results of the research conducted on the emergency food system in Turin, in order to analyze the relationships between its elements (food, subjects, space and time). The analysis shows the opportunities of a new approach to the food emergency, involving the use of food and its symbolic values as a vehicle through which reconstruct socio-spatial relationships in order to get out of marginality and social exclusion.
