Recently, The Committee on Climate Change has conducted a study that examines the land use and greenhouse

gas implications of UK food consumption change away from meat and dairy consumption and associated

production. It shows that the UK agricultural land base can support increased consumption of plant-based products

arising from the reduced consumption of livestock products. This would not only reduce greenhouse gas emissions
RBI Grade B Phase 1 2022 Previous Year Paper Shift 1

but would also reduce land requirements. This in turn would bring potential environmental benefits and significant

opportunities to deliver other products ranging from biofuels production to rewilding, carbon sequestration and

other ecosystem services, from UK agricultural land.

A number of questions on the topic were addressed and to answer those questions, a range of consumption and

production scenarios were designed to examine options on both the demand and supply sides – three

consumption and three production scenarios. The study found that all consumption change scenarios reduce the

total amount of land estimated as required to support the UK food system.

In all cases the amount of extra land required for the direct consumption of plant products is less than the amount

of arable land released from livestock feed production. This said, a switch from red to white meat increases the

need for overseas arable land, although a larger area of UK land that can be tilled is released.

Focusing a reduced cattle and sheep industry on non-arable land would result in the release of substantially more

tillable land (currently grassland). A 50% reduction in livestock product consumption opens up the opportunity to

release about half of UK land currently used for UK food supplies if remaining production is concentrated on the

more capable land. If land is released uniformly, almost two-thirds of this release takes place on grassland not

suited to arable production and the remaining third is grassland with some arable potential. There would be with

higher levels of land release in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland than in England.

The study found that all consumption scenarios reduced greenhouse gas emissions from primary production. The

largest reduction was from a livestock reduction scenario: from 81 to 66 Mt CO2e (19% reduction). The net effect on

emissions depended greatly on the alternative use of the grassland released from food production.

This study has clearly shown that UK land can support consumption change that reduces greenhouse gas emissions

from the food system. The reduction in land needed to supply the UK that comes with a reduction in livestock

product consumption brings potential environmental benefits and significant opportunities to deliver other

products, including other ecosystem services, from UK agricultural land. The study has shown that some risks

currently ___________ (4) as arising from consumption change are small. In particular the study shows that arable

land needs will not increase if the consumption of livestock products is decreased. The risk that emissions will be

exported is also shown to be small. (5) The combined (A) of the significant potential benefits of consumption

change identification (B) with the low risks of unintended consequences has far-reaching development (C) for

guidance to consumers and the implication (D) of agricultural policy. The results are broadly applicable to other

European countries which means they are relevant to international policy development, for example the reform of

the Common Agricultural Policy.

Read the passage and answer the questions that follow.

Inflation for the last four months has been worryingly high — wholesale price index (WPI) has been above 10% and

consumer price index (CPI) crossed the 6% mark in June, which was above the Reserve Bank of India (RBI)’s

tolerance band. This is happening at a time when demand has been down, unemployment has been high, many

have lost incomes and poverty has aggravated. So, why is there high inflation and does the official data capture the

real picture?

In April and May 2020, data on production and prices could not be collected due to the strict lockdown. Unlock had

gradually started in June and July 2020 but normalcy had not returned. So, the current data on prices for April to

July 2021 are not comparable with the same months of 2020. As such, the official inflation figures for these months

in 2021 do not reflect the true picture.

Anyway, a single number for inflation is an aggregate across different commodities and services — the price rise

differs for different items of consumption. So, the single number is arrived at by assigning weights to different

commodities and services. For WPI, the weights in production are used; for CPI, the consumption basket is used.

But people are not homogenous. The consumption basket is vastly different for the poor, the middle classes, and

the rich. Hence, the CPI is different for each of these classes and a composite index requires averaging the baskets.

So, in a sense, it represents none of the categories.

During lockdown and unlock in 2020, people largely consumed essentials. RBI data show that consumer confidence

fell drastically from 105 in January 2020 to 55.5 by January 2021. That means, even when the economy started to

grow officially, consumer confidence had not recovered. There occurred a long hiatus for its recovery. Employment

and incomes were still down and according to one report, 230 million slipped below the poverty line. All this implies

that the consumption basket for different sections of the population had changed. While the consumption pattern

of the well-off sections may have changed little, the poor and middle classes, especially those who lost jobs and

incomes, would have had to cut back on their consumption. Thus, the weights in the CPI would have changed and
RBI Grade B Phase 1 2022 Previous Year Paper Shift 1

inflation required recalculation, but this has not been done. Consumer confidence was down to 48.6 in July 2021

due to the impact of the second wave of COVID-19.

In India, 94% work in the unorganised sector and mostly earn low incomes and have little savings. By definition,

they cannot bargain for higher incomes as prices rise, and get hit by inflation. Further, due to lockdowns, the wages

of many declined, both in the unorganised and organised sectors. This has impacted their family budgets.

Consequently, demand has declined not only for non-essentials but even for essentials. In a vicious cycle, this is

slowing down economic recovery and employment generation. Further, this impacts the government’s revenues

and tends to increase the budgetary deficit. This puts pressure on the government to cut back budgetary

expenditures, especially on the social sector. That aggravates poverty and reduces demand further. Thus, inflation in

times of low demand and reduced incomes leads to a vicious cycle of slowing the economy and a growing crisis in

the lives of the poor and unemployed, most of whom belong to the unorganised sector and some to the organised

sector.

The government has increased taxation of energy to raise resources. Since energy is used for all production, prices

of all goods and services tend to rise and push up the rate of inflation. Further, this is an indirect tax, it is regressive

and impacts the poor disproportionately more. It also makes the RBI’s task of controlling inflation difficult.

In brief, the current official inflation rate does not correctly measure price rise since the lockdown administered a

shock to the economy. The method of calculating it needed modification. Many of the non-rich have suffered a

double blow due to loss of income and rise in prices. This is slowing down the pickup in growth bycurtailing

demand.

Question No. 103

Which of the following is true regarding combining different numbers to give a single number for inflation?

(i) Different commodities and services are designated weights, and thus a single number is reached.

(ii) To calculate WPI, weights in marketing are used.

1. The already lower income remains stable even if there is an increase in prices and also, their savings might

not be that great.

2. Although they will get an increase in wages, their expenditure is huge because of lower prices of goods

during an inflation and they will consume more, even though those goods are not necessary.

3. People in the unorganised sector have less income and less savings, and during inflation, they deposit

their money to gain more interest, which puts a pressure on their family budget.

4. The interest rates on loans increase considerably during inflation and people of the unorganised sector,

who spend 94% on their income on repayment of loans will have a tough time making ends meet.

Answer : According to the author, the taxation on energy by the government is one of the factors that made it

difficult for RBI to control inflation.

Direction:
Read the passage and answer the questions that follow.

Inflation for the last four months has been worryingly high — wholesale price index (WPI) has been above 10% and

consumer price index (CPI) crossed the 6% mark in June, which was above the Reserve Bank of India (RBI)’s

tolerance band. This is happening at a time when demand has been down, unemployment has been high, many

have lost incomes and poverty has aggravated. So, why is there high inflation and does the official data capture the

real picture?

In April and May 2020, data on production and prices could not be collected due to the strict lockdown. Unlock had

gradually started in June and July 2020 but normalcy had not returned. So, the current data on prices for April to

July 2021 are not comparable with the same months of 2020. As such, the official inflation figures for these months

in 2021 do not reflect the true picture.

Anyway, a single number for inflation is an aggregate across different commodities and services — the price rise

differs for different items of consumption. So, the single number is arrived at by assigning weights to different

commodities and services. For WPI, the weights in production are used; for CPI, the consumption basket is used.

But people are not homogenous. The consumption basket is vastly different for the poor, the middle classes, and

the rich. Hence, the CPI is different for each of these classes and a composite index requires averaging the baskets.

So, in a sense, it represents none of the categories.

During lockdown and unlock in 2020, people largely consumed essentials. RBI data show that consumer confidence

fell drastically from 105 in January 2020 to 55.5 by January 2021. That means, even when the economy started to

grow officially, consumer confidence had not recovered. There occurred a long hiatus for its recovery. Employment

and incomes were still down and according to one report, 230 million slipped below the poverty line. All this implies
RBI Grade B Phase 1 2022 Previous Year Paper Shift 1

that the consumption basket for different sections of the population had changed. While the consumption pattern

of the well-off sections may have changed little, the poor and middle classes, especially those who lost jobs and

incomes, would have had to cut back on their consumption. Thus, the weights in the CPI would have changed and

inflation required recalculation, but this has not been done. Consumer confidence was down to 48.6 in July 2021

due to the impact of the second wave of COVID-19.

In India, 94% work in the unorganised sector and mostly earn low incomes and have little savings. By definition,

they cannot bargain for higher incomes as prices rise, and get hit by inflation. Further, due to lockdowns, the wages

of many declined, both in the unorganised and organised sectors. This has impacted their family budgets.

Consequently, demand has declined not only for non-essentials but even for essentials. In a vicious cycle, this is

slowing down economic recovery and employment generation. Further, this impacts the government’s revenues

and tends to increase the budgetary deficit. This puts pressure on the government to cut back budgetary

expenditures, especially on the social sector. That aggravates poverty and reduces demand further. Thus, inflation in

times of low demand and reduced incomes leads to a vicious cycle of slowing the economy and a growing crisis in

the lives of the poor and unemployed, most of whom belong to the unorganised sector and some to the organised

sector.

The government has increased taxation of energy to raise resources. Since energy is used for all production, prices

of all goods and services tend to rise and push up the rate of inflation. Further, this is an indirect tax, it is regressive

and impacts the poor disproportionately more. It also makes the RBI’s task of controlling inflation difficult.

In brief, the current official inflation rate does not correctly measure price rise since the lockdown administered a

shock to the economy. The method of calculating it needed modification. Many of the non-rich have suffered a

double blow due to loss of income and rise in prices. This is slowing down the pickup in growth bycurtailing

demand.
