In this episode of RaboTalk's Growing our future, Blake Holgate is joined by Gavin Marshall, Sustainability Manager at Rabobank NZ. Gavin's role at Rabobank involves ensuring data gets turned into insights that provide value to Rabobank clients.

This episode focuses on how the significant amount of data farmers collect can be used in ways that provide genuine value to farming businesses. Blake and Gavin discuss the types of on-farm sustainability data farmers have available to them; the compliance and technology drivers behind the increase of this type of information being required; how farmers can source and access this information; and whether there is an over-reliance on data. Gavin explains the key metrics in the Fonterra Farm Insights Report and how various reports and insights can help farmers move towards becoming more efficient producers.
