Food bank logistic network model characteristics
| Dimension | Occidental model | Korean model |
|---|---|---|
| Structural typology | Community-based nonprofit organizations voluntarily run food bank programs. The government has enacted laws to encourage donations | State-centered - the state takes the initiative in governing food banks. Asymmetrical relationships exist between the government and the food banks |
| Autonomy of actors | Food banks have significant autonomy; however, when donations are not enough, it is hard to satisfy the needs. They depend on donors to perform their activities | Food banks have little autonomy. Notwithstanding, when food banks do not have the capability and face weak public support for donations, the government sets the basis for developing the food bank |
| Results in terms of cooperation and diversity | Food banks have strong cooperative models in which various actors actively participate | Weak cooperation exists between participants: government, non-profit organizations, and individual donors. Large corporations rarely participate in food bank programs |
