Mines are a cancerous tumor on the earth, created by humans. It is necessary to clear the lands of them and return them to life, Heidi Kuhn, head of the Roots of Peace organization, laureate of the World Food Prize, said during the panel session of the 3rd international conference on Mitigating Environmental Impact of Landmines: Resource Mobilization for Safe and Green Future in Zangilan.
According to Report, Kuhn proposed that after demining and clearing the territories, trees and grapevines should be planted on these lands, which would return them to life, to feed future generations.
"But every tree planted absorbs carbon. Thus, this is a business model for peace. In this hall, we bear a moral responsibility for a peaceful economy, for demining, resettlement and restoration of settlements around the world," she added.
