Will Chua is co-founder of FOLO (Feed Our Loved Ones) and A Little Wild, both long term regenerative farms in Johor, Malaysia. FOLO is a 12-year Community Supported Agriculture farm that recovers 4 tons of food waste daily to produce compost and grow organic vegetables for families and those in need. A Little Wild is a 6-year Syntropic Agroforestry farm slowly transforming 138 acres of degraded oil palm land into a food forest.
Will comes from a blood lineage of generosity, family, and unconditional love. His grandma would go on hunger strikes to ensure none of her grandchildren were caned, no matter how mischievous they were.
He comes from the spiritual lineage of wisdom and compassion. He is deeply grateful to have received living transmissions of heart and spirit from many teachers, from Thich Nhat Hanh and the Plum Village tradition to spiritual farmers like Pierre Loisel and Ernst Gostch.
He comes from the land lineage of the tropics, feeling most at home as an Earthling in the endless sun and rain, the mind-boggling biodiversity, and the warm-hearted people.
Prior to this way of life, he is deeply grateful for a background in public policy, economic development and engineering. Thank you for reading :)
