Climate change and the growing unpredictability of environmental elements such as temperature precipitation present considerable challenges to contemporary agriculture. Data-driven algorithms promising solutions by offering more precise tools for optimizing crop yields resource efficiency tackle these challenges. Among approaches, multi-armed bandit (MAB) algorithm effectively balances exploration exploitation, showcasing potential agricultural decision-making. This study investigates four widely utilized Multi-Armed Bandits algorithms: Explore Then Commit (ETC), Upper Confidence Bound (UCB), Asymptotically Optimal UCB, Thompson Sampling (TS). The objective is optimize wheat yield under varying conditions while also assessing effectiveness different in achieving this goal. experiment demonstrates that UCB optimal analyzing data on total during growth wheat. . Furthermore, TS significantly outperforms others flat throughout period. Therefore, can identify most suitable rainfall a changing environment. In contrast, determine requirements similar fluctuations. These insights assist practitioners timely adjusting their strategies enhance yield. Additionally, it provides model those who want use MAB improve yields.

Enabling technologies (KETs) offer transformative potential for agriculture by addressing major challenges such as climate change, resource efficiency, and sustainable development across economic, social, environmental dimensions. However, KET adoption is often limited high R&D requirements, rapid innovation cycles, investment costs, cultural or training barriers, especially among small agricultural businesses. Sicily’s sector, already strained pandemic-related economic setbacks inflationary pressures, faces additional barriers in adopting these technologies. To investigate develop viable solutions, the ARIA Living Lab (Agritech Research Innovation Environment) was established within PNRR framework. A qualitative approach used, involving documentary analysis data from stakeholders Sicilian agriculture. This enabled an in-depth exploration of sector-specific needs, infrastructure, socio-economic factors influencing adoption. The highlighted that differ significantly sectors (citrus, olive, wine), with public incentives digital infrastructure playing key roles. a persistent lack technical skills farmers reduces effectiveness innovations. findings suggest integrated approach—combining targeted incentives, training, enhanced infrastructure—is essential transition to KETs. Future research should examine collaborative efforts between farms tech providers evaluate impact policies promoting widespread, informed enabling
