The FAOSTAT database is well respected and heavily used. Perhaps there are few external citations because the importance and reliability of the data generally goes unquestioned. While I certainly support efforts to collect and include secondary references, I would oppose deletion of this article on a vital information source. I’ll keep a lookout for references that can document my claim. See the Earth Policy Institute Data center, http://www.earth-policy.org/data_center/C24 for an example of a well-respected heavy user of the data. The important book "Limits to Growth" also relies on this data. I am sure there are many others. --Lbeaumont (talk) 13:54, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
