The SAE (Healthy, Natural, and Economical) is a program to use a free space or land to become productive land that can be used for urban farming, chicken and fish farming, waste banks, education centers, and the manufacture of food products for stunting residents to achieve resilience and food independence. The Buruan SAE program also aims to process the results of urban farming into various products that produce economic value and can be sold and the waste will be used as compost and animal feed.

In his remarks, the Deputy Mayor of Bandung, Yana Mulyana, expressed his gratitude and appreciation for the Buruan SAE at RW 14, Sukapura Village. Yana said this activity can meet food needs.

"96% of the food needs in the city of Bandung come from outside Bandung city. Alhamdulillah, this Buruan SAE program can meet its own food needs and hopefully it can be transmitted and become an example to other areas in Bandung City. The stimulus that was given by the government was very well developed by residents of the Sukapura village. Prove that we can meet the minimum foodstuffs in our own environment, "explained Yana.
