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). This type of hunger exists when a person is unable to get work for the entire year.Chronic hunger 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 income and in turn, inability to buy food even for survival.
