This method lets builders use local materials like agricultural waste, and also makes the bricks biodegradable.

Biodegradable building materials are counter productive and produces more waste over time. I just had to have my roof redone, 10 years earlier than I'd planned. Turns out the shingles used in the late 90's when it was done were designed to biodegrade in a landfill. But they start breaking down on the roof after 15 years.
A brick building should last for centuries. Can't do that if the bricks are rotting.
