Answer» Hunger Hunger is an aspect indicating food insecurity. Hunger is not just an expressionof poverty, it brings about poverty. The attainment of food security thereforeinvolves eliminating current hunger and reducing the risks of future hunger. HUNGER IS OF TWO TYPES : i) Chronichunger is a consequence of diets persistently inadequate in terms of quantity and/ or quality. POOR people suffer from chronic hunger because of their very low incomeand in turn inability to buy food even for survival. ii) Seasonalhunger is related to cycles of food growing and harvesting.
