Abstract
Affluent countries experience serious signs of poverty which in Europe affects more than 78 million persons. The paradox of scarcity in abundance assumes a specific meaning in the case of food insecurity and of food component of poverty, which, based on OCSE and Eurostat data are significantly widespread in every European country. An innovative solution to this paradox becomes from the food banks started 30 years ago in US and then diffused in all European countries. A specific focus is paid to the italian system of food banks coordinated by Food Bank Foundation.
