Answer 1

the people who is below the poverty line are food insecure

Answer 2

food insecure are those people who don't have enough money to purchase quality food. in India, a large section of people suffer from food insecurity. it includes people who are below poverty line (those people who don't earn rupees 800 something per month). landless farmer, casual labours, traditional artisans are among them. also during calamities and natural disasters, many people become food insecure.

that's why government has introduced some systems like :-

⏺BUFFER STOCK - it's the stock of food grains. FCI purchases grains from states where there's surplus production and store it in granaries. it's done to provide food to food insecure people at issue price. issue price is the price lower than the original price.

⏺PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM - next, the food stored by FCI is distributed by PDS (public distribution system).in this system, ration shops are opened in the country. ration shops are also known as fair price shops which keep stock of foodgrains and other things like sugar, oil etc. all these items are sold at a lower price. so the poor people can afford it.
