Transform land scarred by the ravages of war into a source of one of life's simple pleasures, such as a glass of wine?

This is, in essence, the project of the non-profit Roots of Peace, a California-based organisation that works to eradicate remnants of landmines from an area and turn it into agricultural land that can be used to grow fruit, vegetables and even grapes.
