On September 21, 1997, Roots of Peace began with a vision of turning "MINES TO VINES"—replacing landmines with vineyards and orchards worldwide.
Ednews informs that this statement was made by the CEO and Founder of Roots of Peace NGO Heidi Tomas Kuhn:
“Over a quarter of a century later, we have turned ideas into reality—and we are honored to be selected as the 2023 World Food Prize Foundation World Food Prize Hall of Laureates hosted in Des Moines, Iowa on October 26, 2023.”
H. Kuhn thanked Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi for the congratulates letter:
“A special ‘thank you’ to Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi for this special letter commemorating Climate Week and United Nations International Day of Peace!”
