description Goal: This research intends to improve the quality of life of rural livestock farmers through livelihood approaches analyzing each of the five capitals to strengthen the sustainable value chain. Design / Methodology / Approach: The research was guided by the theoretical framework of the livelihoods approach. A survey was conducted among the population under analysis to describe each of the phases of the five capitals. Finally, some recommendations for value chain articulation were proposed. Results: The research development involved the use of Value Links framework to characterize current livelihoods of livestock population in Campo Verde - Ucayali. This served as basis for the improvement proposal to strengthen livestock value chain in the zone under analysis. Limitations of the investigation: The characterization is specific since each zone presents particularities in the livelihood capitals. Practical implications: Diagnose and design an improving proposal for the value chain of the livestock sector in Pucallpa that governmental entities and private companies can apply with a social and economic approach. Originality / Value: A study of vulnerable rural populations in Peru that seeks to strengthen the value chain of their main economic activities.
