I had heard about this guy somewhere else and just heard him being  
interviewed on Michael Feldman's Whaddya Know (or however it is  
called) show.

The guy has a great story, has created a great life story, is an  
inspiration. He has created answers to food production, using some  
very old ideas as well as being on the leading edge of current urban  
gardening thinking.

One of the things he talked about could be called extreme vertical  
gardening, growing plants up through high-rise buildings.

I nominate Will Allen for a personal hero award.

Here is just one article about him:
