Thank you I have come across FAO - proved to be very useful!
I'm not confident this is the right outlet (and if so I apologize) but does anyone have tips on good data sources for ex; poultry statistics - trying to get hold of data for each individual country the amount of eggs produced on a year by year, country by country basis. appreciate any tips! Where do you go to find your data? (choose to make this an open question)
(not sure this is the right answer) Potentially FHI prize competition could be seen as an attempt to pursue that end? ( http://www.fhi.ox.ac.uk/prize , it's closed now)
Yes, i have. I thought there might be other people in the same position, I therefore put up the post in order to potentially "break the ice".

I'm struggling finding other source's so I would be very grateful if someone would like to contribute.
