Agri-Food Data Canada

At Agri-food Data Canada hosted at the University of Guelph we are working with participants of the research data ecosystem to help create tools and training that will increase the value of research data.

We are guided by the FAIR data principles, that data should be Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable. We are making it easier for researchers to apply the FAIR data principles to their research data, increasing the value for everyone in the sector.
