New web platform opens to cover Europe's hemp building industry

HempToday, a new platform covering Europe's hemp building industry has gone into soft launch.

"We see a growing need to build stronger bonds among hemp building industry players, and to better integrate the hemp industry with the overall green building movement," said Will Richardson, HempToday editor in chief. "Just organizing the information that's already out there is a first step, but we'll also be doing original reporting," Richardson said. HempToday will focus especially on the companies and innovative leaders who see hemp agriculture playing a major role in local economic development while at the same time contributing CO2 reduction, he added.

HempToday includes a news wire following industry players, legislation, economic development and the latest projects. An "intelligence" section surveys recent research while directories are devoted to various hemp organizations around Europe as well as industry growers, processors and equipment makers, building materials producers, architects and consultants.

The service will officially launch at the end of February, Richardson said.
