The 2023 World Food Prize Laureate - Heidi Kuhn

In May of this past year I was sitting down with former Ambassador Terry Branstad, who also served as the longest sitting governor in the history of the United States. He said to me that he would look for me in Washington, D.C. at the announcement for the 2023 World Food Prize Laureate. I mumbled something about another commitment. He put his hand on my arm and said, "I'd like you to be there."  I got the drift and attended. Fast forward to October and the world met Heidi Kuhn from Roots of Peace.  Here you will listen to her passionate effort to not only help save humanity but also her work to reclaim land that is riddled with unexploded bombs and mines. Something she has been doing for twenty-five years.  Listen...to her amazing story.
