Our vision
Creating a conscious Agriconomy in Africa
At Terrain, we build flourishing and financially attractive investment opportunities by supporting and growing agribusinesses that are responsible to communities and the environment – what we call Agriconomy.
We believe the African Agriconomy offers a perfect solution to feed the globe’s exploding population. We invest capital, expertise and proactive management into harnessing the vast potential of a continent abundant in space, sunlight, fertile soil and willing workforces.
The agribusinesses we partner with share our passion for people, planet and profit. Supporting workforces and their families through healthcare, education benefits and better quality of life. Workforces respond to this by becoming greater contributors, focusing on career paths and increasing overall productivity and yields. Our agribusiness partners are committed to practices that restore and enrich the environment rather than depleting it.
Agribusinesses benefit from the latest tools and technology, the best minds, the newest ideas. Investors get the backing of more than 10 years of experience, industry relevant expertise, impact investing and the joy of watching their ideals reap returns. In Einstein’s immortal words: your vision is your preview of the future. We see a future where Africa’s people flourish; her natural wealth reaps its full potential for all involved; and her environment is enriched. We are growing a future of infinite potential.
