French translation: Catalysts of Change: Women Leaders in Science - Heidi Kühn

CIMMYT has launched a ‘TED Talk meets fireside chat’-style series on women leaders. As Marion Wright Edelman said, “You can’t be what you can’t see.” If we want more women leaders in science institutions like ours, we need to provide more opportunities to hear from women leaders about their life journeys, lessons, and insights. We seek to highlight women who are leaders in all sorts of capacities, fields and disciplines, because we believe that leadership styles can take many different forms.
This is our latest episode from the series Catalysts of Change, from Tuesday March 14th, 2024.
Presenting Heidi Kühn.
Heidi Kühn, Founder and CEO of Roots of Peace, has dedicated her life to transforming war-torn lands into sustainable agricultural fields, replacing landmines with vineyards and orchards. With a background in political economics and a career in news reporting, her vision has grown globally, impacting over 1 million farmers across eight countries.
Her work, recognized by world leaders and supported by major organizations, has facilitated the removal of over 100,000 landmines, significantly boosting Afghanistan's agricultural exports.
