Challenges for the achievement of the sustainable development hoals in the South American Andean camelid chain

South American camelids, which include species such as alpacas, llamas, vicuñas and guanacos, are fundamental to food security, local economies and cultural preservation; for thousands of years, they have supported the livelihoods of millions of families living in inhospitable areas.

description South American camelids, which include species such as alpacas, llamas, vicuñas and guanacos, are fundamental to food security, local economies and cultural preservation; for thousands of years, they have supported the livelihoods of millions of families living in inhospitable areas. Recognizing this, the UN has declared 2024 as the International Year of Camelids. However, the sustainability of this chain is threatened by factors such as climate change, ecosystem degradation, and the socio-economic vulnerability of producer communities. The aim of the chapter is therefore to examine the challenges to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the South American camelid value chain, specifically in the context of the Andean region. As a result, it identifies strategies implemented to mitigate these effects, including the use of immunomodulators, the development of hutches and thermal waistcoats, and the improvement of water infrastructure. It also emphasizes the need to transfer technology and innovations to strengthen the value chain, ensuring the well-being of communities and the conservation of Andean biodiversity.
