Heidi Kühn is Founder and CEO of Roots of Peace, a humanitarian-nonprofit organisation founded in September 1997 with a vision to transform Mines to Vines – replacing the scourge of landmines with sustainable agricultural farmland. Her pioneering work empowers families living in war-torn regions with hope leading to the economics of peace through export and trade.

In 2018, she received the inaugural Earth Ethics Award from Marcus Nobel, nephew of Alfred Nobel presented to her at the United Nations in New York.
