At Terrantic, we're on a mission to tackle one of the biggest challenges in the food industry: the nearly 50% of food wasted each year in the United States. Our vision is to revolutionize the way food is grown, processed, and packed—helping businesses operate with greater efficiency, precision, and sustainability. Every day, we obsess over building a modern, intelligent operations platform that optimizes quality, reduces waste, and drives smarter decision-making from end to end.
Terrantic and Nexgen3 have joined forces to redefine operations in agriculture—and beyond. By combining Terrantic’s intelligent data platform with Nexgen3’s deep industry expertise, we're equipping specialty crop growers and packhouses with next-generation solutions that drive efficiency, quality, and profitability.Leading this expansion are industry veterans Craig Belfield and Paul Nelson, who bring over 70 years of combined experience to accelerate Nexgen3’s reach in California and across the U.S.Together, we’re solving real challenges with cutting-edge technology—helping farmers and packhouses thrive in an increasingly complex world.
Food producers today are facing major headwinds. From labor problems to supply chain issues, numerous factors are causing rising competitiveness, squeezed margins, and excessive waste.
Our team was born into the food-producing community, and some of our families are still growing and producing food to this day. We care deeply about these challenges and wanted to make a difference.
We noticed that, as an industry, we are often data rich but information poor. Terrantic was born to change this trend — to empower fellow producers, packers and processors to make better decisions and take control of their destinies.
An over-reliance on segregated spreadsheets and outdated internal systems is preventing companies from effectively using their data to adapt to external events.
Legacy systems aren’t optimizing throughput and yield, and manual processes are creating excessive downtime, wasted labor costs, and extra margin loss due to scrap, rejects, and shrinkage.
It’s clear that a more modern data management approach is needed.
We pioneered data-based decision-making software in the mining industry. Now, as passionate technologists, we want to bring our expertise and success in data analytics back to our roots in food.
Today, the Terrantic platform is helping food growers, processors, and packhouses to re-capture margins by unlocking improvement opportunities in the data they already have.
