CMES is proud to announce a collaboration with Heidi Kühn, philanthropist and nominee for the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize: the Kühn Initiative for Post-Conflict Development Studies, a research initiative devoted to the study of the economic and agricultural development of societies emerging from military and civil conflict. The Kühn Initiative grows out of Ms. Kühn's experience as founder of Roots of Peace, a charitable organization promoting the transformation of previously landmined areas into productive agriculture, and it aims to foster collaboration between experts in relevant fields and international, charitable, and governmental organizations and groups, in order to contribute to the development of improved resources, best practices, and novel approaches and technologies in supporting peace through agriculture.
