GEMS Informatics

GEMS Informatics re-imagines the relationships between public and private data, institutions, and disciplines to inform and accelerate data-driven innovation in the food and agricultural sectors. GEMS is a joint venture led by the College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences (CFANS) and Research Computing (Minnesota Supercomputing Institute and U-Spatial) at the University of Minnesota. We make genomic, environmental, management, and socioeconomic data inter-operable at varying spatial and temporal scales to generate new insights and promote new innovation partnerships. GEMS Informatics uses FAIR(ER)-findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable, ethical and reproducible practices in all it does. Producing and enabling the creation of research-ready, scientific-quality data, and turning that data into actionable information for farmers, scientists, governments or companies is what we do.
