Her journey from SU researcher to founder and CEO of TerraClim began with a PhD focused on climate change in the wine industry. Today, this SU spinout helps farmers use climate, terrain and crop-specific data to make more informed decisions.

For Southey, turning research into something that can make a difference on the ground is what makes the journey worthwhile.

Her advice to women entering science, agriculture or entrepreneurship? Trust yourself, build relationships and “don’t be distracted by people’s opinions of you”.

Today we spent some time at Veldt Boerdery, just outside Stellenbosch, visiting Ansell Langeveldt as part of the TerraClim Climate-Smart Farmers Programme.

Ansell took us through the farm and the wide range of crops currently in production, from coriander, kale and baby spinach to turnips, with green beans and butternut next on the planting plan.

We also took the TerraClim WebApp into the field, logging a field note on site and talking through how the platform can better support the day-to-day needs of small-scale farmers.

It was a practical, hands-on visit and a really enjoyable one at that. We loved seeing the farm in action, learning more about Ansell’s plans and hearing directly where digital tools can add the most value.

We’re looking forward to seeing what goes into the ground next. 🌿

A day of shared learning, practical conversations and meaningful exchange at the Nederburg Producer Day.

We joined producers and industry partners for a day of practical discussion around the realities shaping agriculture today, from a changing climate to evolving production systems and new approaches to building resilience on the ground.

For TerraClim, it was an opportunity to unpack how changing climate conditions are influencing production and why increasingly local, site-specific information matters when planning for adaptation.

A special thank you to Isabel Habets for bringing such a valuable group of people together and to Nederburg Wines for hosting us in such a beautiful setting.

Days like these create space to learn from one another, challenge our thinking and keep moving towards more resilient agricultural systems.

TerraTakes: On Site | Day 3 🍊

Wrapping up three days with the citrus industry, Tara shares one of the strongest takeaways from the conversations: climate context matters.

From deciding which cultivars we plant where, to understanding how microclimates influence pest and disease pressure, climate data has an important role to play in building more resilient production systems.

And looking ahead: how do we bring that climate intelligence into the agtech solutions already supporting citrus producers?

A great few days of science, industry insight and conversations about what comes next.

It’s your last chance to grab a copy of the latest Farmer’s Weekly featuring Dr Tara Southey, CEO and Founder of TerraClim, in the Women in Agriculture feature.

In “Ground-breaking climate data meets farming”, Tara shares more about her journey from research into business and the thinking behind TerraClim: turning complex climate data into practical, location-specific information that farmers can actually use. As the article puts it, TerraClim is helping to “empower farmers to build resilience and make climate-smart decisions.”

A big thank you to Petri de Beer and the Farmer's Weekly team for telling Tara’s story and shining a light on the role of climate intelligence in the future of agriculture.

Pick up the 21 August 2026 edition while it’s still on shelves.

“Dr Tara Southey brings climate intelligence to farmers.”

This Women’s Month, we’re celebrating the women who are building, leading, questioning and creating change across agriculture, science, technology and beyond.

Stellenbosch University recently profiled Dr Tara Southey, Founder and CEO of TerraClim, sharing her journey from researcher to entrepreneur and the purpose that continues to drive her work: making climate intelligence useful to the people who are making decisions on the ground.

The article also reflects on what it means to build confidence and authority as a woman in traditionally male-dominated spaces and the importance of supporting and learning from the women around us. To the women leading industries, building businesses, advancing science, supporting teams, raising their voices and inspiring others along the way: we see you and we celebrate you.

Thank you to Stellenbosch University for sharing Tara’s story as part of its Women’s Month series.

Yesterday, we received an updated from our CEO from the 13th CRI Citrus Research Symposium. Today, Dr Tara Southey checks in from the Drakensberg with a few reflections from Day 2.

From rootstocks and cultivars to pests, diseases and performance across different production regions, today’s conversations reinforced something central to the work we do at TerraClim: climate and terrain are fundamental to understanding how agricultural systems perform.

For us, that opens up exciting questions around how climate influences citrus cultivar and rootstock expression across different regions; and where climate intelligence can help strengthen decision-making in the industry.

And one of today’s highlights? Getting to taste an incredible range of citrus. 🍊🍋

One more day to go. Follow along for the next on site TerraTake!
