⏩ 2)

➜ Hunger is not just an expression of poverty, it brings about poverty. The attainment of food security therefore involves eliminating current hunger and reducing the risk of future hunger.

➜ Hunger has chronic and seasonal dimensions.

➜ Chronic hunger is a consequence of diets persistently inadequate in terms of quantity or quality due to income. In contrast, seasonal hunger is related to cycles of food growing and harvesting.

⏩ 3)

→ Despite the large increase in food grain production, we find many people without food in India.Poor people suffer from chronic hunger.They are unable to buy food. More than one-fifth of India's population suffers from chronic hunger even today.
