Hurray! Thank you for even thinking of organic gardening!
This may sound weird but a good compost pile is so rewarding.
Be careful with putting in your compost pile the.."spoiled over non veg food items" ... don't want to attract pests of any sort.

It will work... not sure how your yield will be... that will depend on the variety of tomato that you choose to grow. (I'm not so technical but the ph level of the soil may make a difference too.)
When we grow tomatoes we have room for different varieties so the yield isn't an issue for us...that's why I can't tell you how it'll be. Hope you have large pots. :-)
I have had friends who lived in apartments and grew a tomato or pepper in pots... I'm not sure if they did it organically though...they were pleased with their outcome.
