/gamerule doHunger

Detach hunger from the difficulty setting, and isntead add a "doHunger" gamerule. This way, players can choose whether or not to experience hunger regardless of whether or not hostile mobs are allowed to spawn. 

Consider a player who wants to play on peaceful but enjoys agriculture. Agriculture loses (most) purpose on peaceful as the player does not get hungry. An alternative is to play on a higher difficult with /gamerule doMobSpawning turned off, though this disables some peaceful mobs from spawning (e.g. bats). 

In sum, add /gamerule doHunger so players can meaningfully engage with the agricultural system regardless of whether or not they play on peaceful.

  I don't think that it should be completely detatched from the difficulty, I think that when you set the difficulty it should change if the gamerule is true or false, and if you want to change the difficulty but you want doHunger to stay the same you could set difficultyChangesHunger to false (if someone else can come up with a better name use that). Why is because it would be confusing for people that don't keep up with the updates, also because it would be easier, and because in Java you can't change gamerules when you're creating the world (or maybe you can I'm not sure, I play Bedrock).
