Ang rice straw at iba pang crop residues ay mahalagang agricultural biomass na maaaring gamitin bilang organic soil amendment, composting material, at karagdagang mapagkukunan ng sustansya para sa lupa.

Sa halip na sunugin, isulong natin ang mas episyente at sustenableng pamamahala ng crop residues upang makatulong sa pagpapabuti ng soil health, pagbawas ng greenhouse gas emissions, at pagpapanatili ng produktibong sakahan.

Sa sama-samang pangangalaga sa lupa at kapaligiran, masisiguro natin ang ligtas, matatag, at sustenableng produksyon ng pagkain para sa susunod na henerasyon.
