Hunger is an important aspect indicating food insecurity, it is an expression of poverty.

b. Poor people become targets of hunger also because of seasonal nature of work, ,most of them are poor agricultural laborers in rural areas and become victims of seasonal nature of agriculture, and in  urban areas the casual workers working in unorganized sector become vulnerable to hunger as they fail to get work throughout the year with no stability in their incomes. It is referred as seasonal hunger.

c. Hunger also has another dimension that is chronic hunger it is the, poor people suffer from chronic hunger because of their low income and as a result of their inability to buy food even for their survival.

d. People living below poverty line as they are food insecure are the worst victims who die of hunger.

hunger is not just an expression of poverty , it brings about poverty. The attainment of food security involves eliminating current hunger and reduces 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 . poor people suffer from hunger beacuse of their very low income .

seasonal hunger is related to cycles of food growing and harvesting. this is prevelant in rural areas because of seasonal nature of agricultural activities. 

for eg;; there is less work for casual construction labour during rainy season.
