Looks like you are burning the rice husks you need for your Compost,,why not Digest them plus garbage and manures and crop residues in an Methane Generator,then use the Gas for whatever you need the power for,,and then you have an excellent fertilizer in the effluent which can be spread and will be useful right away,instead of waiting for compost.. Rice is very hard to compost because of the silica,a Digestor will break it down easy..

But, on the other hand - the wastes from food production can also be used, for example the recent reports of a power plant being constructed in the Netherlands to convert poultry litter into electricity.
