Small scale livestock in the semi tropical Amazon region of Bolivia has a great potential to improve the income of indigenous and peasant families that are being benefitted with access to land . In that sense, however, it is needed to accompany the structural improvement with new proper cattle and pastures mangement technologies, focusing on sustainability and environment impact as well as integrating the production activities into local chain values. Recent studies have demonstrated the benefits of moving from extensive to semi - intensive systems the feeding of the livestock. Additionally, it is noticed the lack of enough involment of local government institutions to promote the incorporation of small farmers into the local strategic economic chains.
