Sicily has been applying regenerative farming under the SIC.A.RI.B Project:
https://www.sicarib.it/en/the-project
aims to improve the biological and physical quality of Sicilian agricultural soils, through the implementation and adaptation of conservative or ‘organic regenerative’ farming techniques and technologies (intercropping, minimum tillage, grassing) to the organic farming systems of the Sicilian region, particularly on the most commonly present rotational arable crops and tree crops. The project is implemented by a partnership composed of five Sicilian farms, one private research organisation and two consulting companies
But Sicily, this year, has experienced rainless months
Crops have failed, animals had to be prematurely slaughtered and Sicily and Sardinia did not have enough water for tourists. The result is economic catastrophe.
Investing in resilient infrastructure and water conservation will be necessary to adapt to a warmer climate on these Mediterranean islands.
See how Italy looks to water saving technologies:
Here is a list of innovative technologies which might help Italy in becoming resilient to drought:

But this action should have been put in place before this year’s drought period. We know how previous years have grown hotter and hotter due to increased ocean temperatures caused by global fossil fuel use.
The US suggests the following to their citizens:
I wrote a blog about desalination solutions to aridity caused by drought some years ago:

Israel leads the world in desalination technology, modern irrigation processes and waste water systems linking its networks around Israel. Italy needs to try to utilise these systems before their land becomes an arid desert.
