Join Joshua Blackwell for our Live to Learn program as we explore the growing potential of industrial hemp in East Central Illinois and the many benefits this versatile crop has to offer. While hemp has gained attention for its medicinal applications, it is also making a name for itself in the construction industry. Hemp-based building materials are mold-resistant, pest-resistant, fire-resistant, contain no VOCs, and naturally regulate indoor humidity, which can reduce energy usage by up to 50%. They are also incredibly durable, becoming stronger over time while remaining more flexible than traditional concrete.
