To all the comments saying this is just straw insulation: it's more than that.

Compressed straw as building blocks is a thing now. Apparently it's strong and fire retardant too, though I don't know how much treating and cladding it needs above just being compressed.

Usually the straw block is made with a big motorised machine, but I've seen a hand-operated straw block press, with a great big long pole as an enormous lever. And the building made from its produce: a two storey building with conference hall and kitchen/accommodation. I think only the conference hall half was made with the straw blocks; the other half is interlocking bricks (like Lego 1-by-2s) also made on site.
