Honestly if you differentiate the situation of the people in the cities and provinces, poverty might have a new meaning to it. If you don't have money in cities, you can't buy foods and any other basic needs. In some provinces, as long as you have rich soil, with different crops and veggies, together with river with fishes, you can eat. They don't have money but are they consider to be in poverty if they can survive everyday life?
It is not all about food but also shelter and education. Let's say they have a house but don't own it or have access to education. Yes, yes they can survive on a daily basis in terms of food, but how about clothing? the education? Are they going to school? Also other basic needs like pens, paper, and other stuff that is used in the home. Poverty is really a broad term, but it is really different in provinces and cities because you'll die in cities if you don't have money, unlike in provinces where you can pick some vegetables beside the road.
