In some regions, like Vietnam, landmines have been linked to a 50% reduction in crop yields due to soil structure damage. 3. Technological Advancements in Detection The contribution of landmines to land degradation
Research on landmines covers a range of critical perspectives, from their devastating humanitarian and environmental impacts to emerging technological solutions for safer demining. 1. Humanitarian & Socio-Economic Impact
Landmines are described as "weapons of long-term suffering" because they continue to kill and maim civilians—who make up over 80% of casualties—decades after a conflict ends.
Landmines cause severe "environmental degradation" that is often overlooked in humanitarian discussions.
