An old story that someone just brought up again...
"Victor Matioli's organic pumpkins are plump, his coriander aromatic and his spinach 'very soft, sweet, and tasty'. His half-acre farm is a former rubbish dump in the heart of east Africa's biggest slum.
So arresting is the sight of tall sunflowers growing amid the rust-coloured shacks and dirt paths of Kibera that Matioli and his fellow growers have had to put up a 'No photographing' sign to allow them to work in peace. Their reputations - the farmers are all reformed criminals - mean the warning is seldom ignored."

There's also a more extensive description of the farm and lots of photos at Greendreams.
