IruWay Farm
IruWay Rural Research Lab DD Hills Events
IruWay is a collectively owned farm that aspires to be an inclusive laboratory of holistic technology exploration. Iruway is a farm located at the foothills of Devarayandurga near Durgadahalli village in Tumakuru district. Iruway is inside Halekote, and is close to forests and hills.
Iruway, or “iruve” means ants in kannada. As “iruve” becomes Iruway, we take inspiration from ants, as creatures of cooperation, coordination and the collective. Iruway was built with this concept, to foster a sustainable alternative for local knowledge creation and creativity.
