We understand your Risk!

It has become very common to say the world is getting more complex. The reality is that the world has always been a complex place. No amount of technology will reduce the complexity your organization is facing. But understanding complexity and learning how to use it to your advantage will make it work for you.

What we do

The world is complex. Your decisions shouldn’t be. TERRA transforms climate, satellite, and soil data into precise risk assessment models, from the field to the whole world. We give agricultural insurers, international reinsurers, businesses along the agri-food value chains, and governments the foresight to stay ahead of risk, not chase it.

How we do it?

Three ways we put risk intelligence in your hands:

 

Webtools and Data Dashboards

We build web tools and data dashboards that let you assess and monitor weather risk in real time. Every one of them is built on a single promise: simplicity isn't just a goal - it's our commitment.

Individual Field Assessment

Our in-house computation capabiltiies let us run risk and crop-health reports right down to the individual field. The result is a tailor-made risk report that tells you in seconds whether a field is in good shape or needs attention.

Consultancy Services

Our specialists assess agri-weather risk in a matter of days. We help you tap the right weather and satellite data and, more importantly, draw the right conclusions from it for your specific challenge.

We can't change the weather but we can help you to be prepared

The risk landscape in agriculture is changing at a high pace, and firms have to adapt by reacting in ways that suit their customers best interests. At TERRA Modeling Services, we empower you with cost-effective models and tools which will prepare you for the future.
