Differentiate Between Seasonal Hunger and Chronic Hunger

Answer: Seasonal hunger is the form of hunger that occurs when a person is unable to find a job for the full year. Seasonal hunger is tied to planting and harvesting cycles. This is common in rural regions due to the seasonal nature of the agricultural activity, and in urban areas due to the prevalence of temporary workers.

Chronic hunger results from meals that are chronically insufficient in quantity and/or quality. Due to their very low income and consequent inability to purchase food for sustenance, the poor experience chronic hunger.
