The immediate purpose of these three projects was to develop new integrated spaceborne applications to support the objectives of environmental conservation and sustainable development promoted by international environmental treaties. They include the TESEO Study on desertification, the development of an Internet Rice Information Service (IRIS) and the Global Monitoring for Food Security Project (GMFS), which is currently developed in support of the European Commission's Food Security Policy.  These three projects are briefly summarized below:</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id38.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="TESEO Desertification"><U><B>T</B></U></A><A HREF="id38.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="TESEO Desertification"><U><B>ESEO Study on Desertificatio</B></U></A><A HREF="id38.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="TESEO Desertification"><U><B>n</B></U></A></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="146cf640.gif" border=0 width="207" height="100" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id39.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Internet Rice Information Service (IRIS)"><U><B>Internet Rice Information Service (IRIS)</B></U></A></div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="165eb6c0.gif" border=0 width="235" height="108" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id40.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Global Monitoring for Food Security (GMF"><U><B>Global Monitoring for Food Security</B></U></A><B> (GMFS)</B></div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="158c07c0.gif" border=0 width="192" height="124" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </td> </tr></table></body>
