How can we increase the incomes of farmers and reduce the environmental footprint of rice straw in the Philippines? In 2018, IRRI embarked on a three-year project entitled “Development of Sustainable Rice Straw Management Practices and Technologies for Bioenergy, Food, and Feed in the Philippines” or RiceStrawPH Project. 

With the generous support of the Department of Agriculture - Bureau of Agricultural Research (DA-BAR), the Philippine Rice Research Institute (DA-PhilRice), and the Philippine Carabao Center (PCC), RiceStrawPH helped achieve important milestones in rice straw management in the country. The project has since resulted in the development and enhancement of sustainable technologies and management practices focused on bioenergy, mushroom, and ruminant fodder production.
