For motte-and-bailey reasons. Food insecurity in my country means not being able to access food in "socially acceptable ways". It has nothing to do with hunger, it means collecting money from the govt or food stamps etc. But when invoked, it's meant to convey that a large fraction of people are going hungry, incidentally often calling for an expansion of spending which would also not reduce food insecurity because by definition it's not "socially acceptable". Better wages and employment addresses it.
