“The Lower Sioux Indian Community has launched a ‘seed to wall’ Hempcrete program, becoming one of the first organizations in the U.S. to grow, process, and build with this sustainable material. Their vertically integrated approach combines hemp farming and production with the creation of affordable, eco-friendly homes, which addresses a community and regional need while also advancing environmental sustainability.”
