Dr Ethel Zulu is a remarkable small farmer on the rise.
She uses her in-depth understanding of nutrition and years of experience to produce organic chickens and vegetables on her farm, aiming to empower other women to become commercial farmers.
This was after she relocated to Gauteng but could not find a job as a nutritionist. She is passionate about agriculture and her vision is to get as many women as possible into farming, a field she believes has the potential to empower and create jobs. In 2017, Zulu realised that her training was meaningless without results, so she bought a farm and put her knowledge into action.
She said her chickens are free-range and organic, with zero hormones. She uses chicken manure to grow vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, cabbage and peppers. Zulu has hopes of training more than 1,000 women in farming across the country each year. She is also set on being one of SA’s trusted producers of free-range chickens and organic vegetables.
