[open-development] Working the Agricultural "data-mine" ; -) // Fwd: 7,500 New Photos - data.fao.org!

[Victor Miclovich Amooti]

I think this might be of interest to a number of folks on the list that

stuff up on "opportunity-data mining for agricultural business
intelligence"

Enjoy hacking FAOData.
