Activity Description: Adobeterra builds homes and construction blocks for building homes out of adobe, a tradional Mexican clay paste. This building material is inexpensive, environmentally friendly, and naturally insulating, but is not usually resistant to weight and humidity.

Now, however, with assistance from the Instituto Politecnico Nacional's Incubation Center for Base Technology Companies (CIEBT), Adobeterra has developed compressed adobe blocks that have the same resistance to weight and humidity as bricks and even concrete, but at 50% of the price and with none of the environmental impact.

Adobeterra has building projects in Loreto Bay in South Baja California, two housing facilities in Mexico City and the State of Mexico. Additionally, the company is negotiating to supply Adobeterra blocks to the Habitat for Humanity Foundation.
