60 APAC / Australian Enterprise Awards 2021 , The value of data cannot be underestimated no matter what the industry, and one of the biggest developments of the 21st Century has been finding ways in which to apply this information to the greatest effect. mOOvement has been about data since it first came into being during the Moonshot campaign, an in-house innovation program of Rabobank. Now standing on its own, the team have teams in Australia and the Netherlands and over 10,000 GPS era tags in the field, spread in over seventeen countries. These tags are the heart of the team’s project and were developed by closely listening to pilot producers feedback during trials in Australia.
