The Godfather of Hempcrete: Steve Allin and the International Hemp Building Symposium

This week on the Lancaster Farming Industrial Hemp Podcast, we continue our focus on the 13th International Hemp Building Symposium, happening October 3–5 at the Lower Sioux Indian Community in Morton, Minnesota. First we talk to Matt Marino from Homeland Hempcrete, who shares how his North Dakota company is scaling with structural hemp insulated panels and why he’s excited to be a sponsor and participant in this year’s symposium. Then we talk with Steve Allin, founder of the International Hemp Building Association and widely regarded as one of the godfathers of hempcrete. Speaking from his home in western Ireland, Steve reflects on decades of work building with hemp, his role in bringing the symposium to the United States, and why this year’s event is a critical gathering for the global hemp building community.
