Abstract
The consequences of environmental adversities all over the agricultural sector, and the society in XVIII century, is width and complex.

Local authorities take a considerable number of countermeasures to diminish the negative impacts of those periods of crisis and calamities. On this essay, we categorize those measures, how difficult is its execution and, in definitive, its efficacy.
