“…Page and Scott (2001) argue that adaptability is the key to sustainability of learning communities relying on information and communication technologies.

The ‘‘communicative city’’ concept focuses attention on communication patterns that connect people in cities and relationships between urban context and communication phenomena so that those who plan, design, and manage cities recognize the impact their activities have on communication and how communication affects citizens and cities in turn.

COVID-19 outbreak intensify these challenges as agriculture, which one of the main strategic sectors in Indonesia, affected as well. One of the solutions that the Bandung City government offered is an innovation called Buruan Sae (Sehat Alami dan Ekonomis).
