Starting with a low-unit-cost mindset in food relief can result in the creation of centralized operational silos, which, while efficient for resource management, risks neglecting the larger community needs.
These silos are built on economies of scale and often lead to a focus on maximizing resource extraction rather than collaboration and holistic support of the communities they serve.
While organizations may find success in siloed structures initially, such models ultimately jeopardize the well-being of the wider ecosystem that relies on those resources.
Instead of prioritizing cost efficiency, a new approach that emphasizes community engagement and resource sharing might yield better outcomes for those in crisis.
