The Challenge in Agriculture

Agriculture feeds the world, provides a livelihood for farmers and can turn back the clock on climate change. But the industry faces big challenges—from the need to increase food production to feed a growing population to the unsustainable over-use of synthetic pesticides—we need to do more with less. It’s time we re-engineer the system with more effective, safe and sustainable solutions.

Inefficient 'Spray and pray' Approach

Farmers use 2M tons of pesticide every year to protect their crops from pests weeds and disease, however, 50 to 90% of chemicals are released into the soil and waterways.

Damaging Over-Use of Pesticides

Excessive build-up of chemicals can result in unintended consequences on human health and our environment which can damage soils, waterways, beneficial organisms and wildlife.

Thin Profits

Canadian farm net income dropped 55% from 2016 to 2019. When farmers struggle financially, the agriculture sector and the economy struggle, too.

Our Solution

We create disruptive technologies that fuse science, nature and artificial intelligence (AI) to significantly reduce pesticide use and address other world-scale challenges, making the future of farming economically and environmentally possible.
‍
We conduct rapid experimentation from our labs to greenhouses to farms and accelerate our discoveries through artificial intelligence. Our impact is made possible through collaboration and partnerships.

Science

Our scientists test active ingredients used in organic and synthetic pesticides with unique combinations of our Actigate™ technology to discover new formulas that are up to 10 times more effective.

Artificial Intelligence

Our engineers accelerate and scale our impact through machine learning, robotics, data science, and data collection–enabling us to do more with less, faster.

Disruptive Technology

Our proprietary Actigate™ Targeted Performance technology platform makes natural and synthetic inputs more effective by improving the delivery of active ingredients into target cells that are otherwise blocked by cell membranes. Learn more.

Impact Through Collaboration

With collective action, our approach has the potential to eliminate more than 80% of synthetic pesticides in agriculture. We are working with companies and governments who recognize the need to transform how food is grown to address the biggest issues facing agriculture, our earth and humanity.

How can we use technology to unlock the power in nature so we can live healthier, make clean food affordable and feed the world?

We are a Sustainable Agriculture CleanTech Company developing safe and effective plant-based products, and replacements to conventional chemical pesticides & synthetic fertilizers.

Our Technology Platforms are a result of:

Cutting-Edge Science

Technology

Imagination

Intuition

Creativity

Systematic Reasoning

Our work is inspired by the power of nature to unlock the power in nature.

Terramera’s unique and proprietary Molecular Delivery System (MDS) technologies increase the efficacy of active ingredients by delivering them into target cells. The result is revolutionary, high-performance plant-based products for conventional and organic agriculture, professional, and home use.

Our team specializes in active ingredient delivery technology, drawing on complementary skills developed in the pharmaceutical industry. We have acquired the first EPA-registered source of cold-pressed neem, in order to ensure the quality of the neem used as the active ingredient in our initial products.

We are committed to cultivating safe, healthy homes and environments, and making organic food and sustainable farming more affordable, productive and abundant.

Terramera is employing advanced genomics and informatic technologies to shorten the product optimization cycle and enable the development of more products in parallel.

Data obtained from this work will feed a phenomics-based modelling and prediction system that correlates product efficacy and final yields with marked responses. The outcome will be new generations of safer, natural, highly effective products for sustainable farming and cleaner food production.
