1. The lack of rainfall is putting livestock farmers and agricultural producers, vital to Sicily’s economy, in a difficult position.

   “The scarcity of water has compromised the animals’ ability to find the necessary water for their daily needs,” says Donatella Vanadia, a vet and owner of an agricultural company.

   “Farms that have purchased water, along with collective expenses, not only face increased production costs but also expenses for the water supply for the animals. As a result, the physiological conditions of the animals themselves are being jeopardised by this catastrophe.”

2. Solar desalinization. Unlimited sunlight on an island. Time for Italy to invest in next generation infrastructure.

3. The med will get dryyy af. Enjoy, courtesy of companies like shell, dow chemicals, steelmills and the whole industry bag.
