About Us
Terra Centric is an environmental consultancy grounded in farming experience, passion for the land and the environment, and enabling people as the leaders in this space.
We understand that farming is more than just an occupation - it’s an identity - and Terra Centric exists to help secure a future for primary production through practical, evidence-based environmental outcomes.
With experience spanning the primary sector, council and regulatory environments, landscape ecology and environmental science, Terra Centric operates at the intersection of the environment, policy and long-term business value. We work alongside farmers and industry stakeholders to translate complex environmental challenges into clear, achievable action that works for both the land and the business.
Our Mission
Those in the rural community know they love the land - it’s why they farm. Yet while they’re out there doing their very best, it often feels like the rest of the world sees them as the problem, as though they’re somehow out to damage the environment.
"Terra Centric believes that our farmers are among the most innovative and resilient business leaders in the world and can also be leaders in caring for the environment."
That’s why we’re committed to working alongside the farmers to create hard evidence: practical plans, clear strategies and established projects for sustainability and resilience.
Together, with the farmers of tomorrow - and their communities - we aim to prove how deeply they value the environment, and how we can mobilise to effect change on a meaningful scale.

What Makes Us Different
Enabling over instructing: Terra Centric aims to empower farmers, landowners and communities to lead change themselves.
Practical over theoretical: Our solutions are grounded in real-world application, not ideas that only work on paper.
Evidence and long-term thinking: Our recommendations and actions are backed by science, experience and trust. Our outcomes are designed to endure on farms, across communities and through the next generation.
Rooted in farming: We recognise that farming is an identity and a legacy, and our rural communities will play an integral role in shaping New Zealand’s future.
Meet The Team
As the head of Terra Centric, Dan Cameron has always been fascinated by businesses and livelihoods that co-exist sustainably - even thrive through natural systems design.
As a Landscape Architect with an early background in farming, and more recently Local Government and Rural Quality Assurance, Dan approaches his work in the rural sector with a bedrock of diverse experience, allowing him and his team to zoom out and find solutions for farmers that meet both environmental and financial goals.
