The property hunger increases the rate at which you burn nutrition by 50%. If you acquired it by wearing a ring of hunger, it is an extrinsic; if you acquire it by eating a ring of hunger or ring of regeneration, it is an intrinsic. Extrinsic hunger is occasionally useful when you want to eat a corpse before it spoils, for one benefit or another, but are satiated and thus might choke.
Note that a ring of slow digestion does not affect the hunger property. Therefore, if you wear one in combination with a ring of hunger or a ring of regeneration, you will hunger at about 1/2 the normal rate, as opposed to 1/20. Specifically, this happens because the game checks every alternate turn if you have this property, and if so consumes a point of nutrition. The ring of slow digestion only affects the standard every-turn hunger check, not those from rings, amulets, or the hunger property.
