A Community-based Participatory Action Research (CPAR) project was initiated to enhance the productivity of rice farmers in two selected villages of Biliran, Philippines. Bio-organic fertilizer production using the rice straw as the main biomass material was undertaken in the project sites. Produced bio-organic fertilizer was utilized in the rice farm as the nutrient source in combination with commercial inorganic fertilizer. Additional income was realized by the farmer-cooperators who ventured into bio-organic fertilizer production. Likewise, increased palay production and net income was observed during the CPAR project. The activities had resulted to monetary gains of the farmer cooperators. CPAR was able also to capacitate and empower the project beneficiaries and implementers.
