Hunger is an important aspect indicating food insecurity. It has two dimensions - seasonal and chronic.

Seasonal Hunger : Seasonal hunger persists only during a particular part of the season. It is linked with the cycles of food growing and harvesting. In the rural areas the seasonal hunger is prevalent because of the seasonal nature of agricultural activities. The gap between the sowing season and the reaping season is marked by seasonal hunger. In the urban areas the seasonal hunger is linked with the rainy season when there is less work for casual construction labour. This type of hunger exists when a person is unable to get a work for the entire year.
Chronic Hunger : When diet is persistently inadequate in terms of quantity or quality, it is called chronic hunger. Usually 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. This type of hunger is more or less of a permanent nature and persists throughout the year.

Chronic hunger is a persistent inadequacy in diet in terms of quantity and/or quality. Poor people suffer from chronic hunger because of their very low income and in turn inability to buy food even for survival. It is generally found in urban areas.

Seasonal hunger is related to cycles of food growing and harvesting. This is prevalent in rural areas because of the seasonal nature of agricultural activities and in urban areas because of the casual labour, e.g., there is less work for casual construction labour during the rainy season.
