Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Seasonal hunger relates to the cycles of food growing and harvesting in the seasonal months of agriculture. It is seen in rural areas and some parts of urban areas. In rural areas, it happens due to the unavailability of wages or other means of income during the off periods of agriculture when there is no work. In urban areas, it is seen for casual workers, say construction site workers, who don't have a job during extreme weather conditions like heavy rainy season, etc. The other dimension of hunger is chronic hunger, which results from constant inadequacy in the quality and quantity of food for a prolonged period of minimum-wage work. The poorest of the poor, who can afford small portions of food, are among the ones who suffer from chronic hunger.
Thus the correct statement would be Seasonal hunger is not a result of continuously inadequate diets in terms of quality and quantity for a prolonged period.
