An organic farm in Kenya’s largest slum

Posted by Benjamin on: 02.10.2009 /

I ran across this story today of how passionate organic farming enthusiast Su Kahumbu and youth in Kenya’s largest slum teamed up to turn a garbage dump into a certified organic farm. 

This seems like just the sort of local, change the world success story that I would love to be a part of.

    Interesting - I wonder if the trash had a nutrient enriching effect on the soil.

    This is a great story - I especially like it because the “expert” wasn’t someone from outside the country - but was someone in the community.

    thanks,
