67th Session of the Commission - Exhibits
Farmers’ Market: Agricultural Standards, Sustainable Quality Production and Food Security – Showcasing the impact of UNECE’s work in the area of agricultural standard setting. The Fergana Valley project for sustainable quality production, spreading across Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, illustrates the benefits for small farmers, women, and the impact on environmental and water issues. A hands-on- perspective on the role of agricultural and trade standards on food loss and consumer demands allows delegates to see, handle, taste and classify fresh fruit and vegetables. A sampling of nuts and dried fruit from around the world will explain the impact of UNECE standards within and beyond the region.
Bicycles for Personal Mobility and Cargo Delivery: Cycling is a green and healthy mode of transport, with its potential to significantly improve health through activity, to lower local air pollution caused by motorised traffic, and to connect people with their urban environment. Cargo delivery bikes and motorized bikes are a rising trend in urban lifestyles and logistics. As bicycles become more sophisticated so do safety challenges, so the use and quality of helmets for two-wheelers is paramount but continues to vary across countries and regions. This exhibit of delivery bikes and helmets allowed the participants to gather more information on the various types of equipment available on the market, as well as bicycle delivery services, bicycle types, and the importance of helmet safety on the road.
