The agricultural sector in Mexico is vulnerable to climatic variations and the happening of natural disasters. We analyze the Component of Attention to Agricultural Incidents (CADENA in Spanish) that is focused on small peasants with low incomes, and without access to insurance coverage and the Agricultural and Rural Insurance Funds. (FAAR) they operate under the logic of mutualism, so they only offer coverage to their partners. The geographic coverage of both mechanisms is differentiated; the FAAR concentrate their operation in regions with high commercial value agriculture and the CADENA operates throughout the country promoting incentives for contracting catastrophic insurances in municipalities with high and a very high degree of marginalization. It is concluded that both mechanisms complement each other as a public policy for agricultural risk management.

Larval growth and settlement rates are important larval behaviors for larval protections. The variability of larval growthsettlement rates and physical conditions for 2006-2012 and in the future with potential climate changes was studied using the coupling ROMS-IMBs, and new temperature and current indexes. Forty-four experimental cases were conducted for larval growth patterns and release mechanisms, showing the spatial, seasonal, annual, and climatic variations of larval growthsettlement rates and physical conditions, demonstrating that the slight different larval temperature-adaption and larval release strategies made difference in larval growth-settlement rates, and displaying that larval growth and settlement rates highly depended upon physical conditions and were vulnerable to climate changes.
