Description:	Extensive livestock represents around 93% of cattle production in Brazil and pasture is its main food source. For this reason, the sector considers pasture degradation an important problem, being responsible for economic and environmental losses. Several sources indicate that more than 60% of the 160 million hectare of Brazilian pastures shows some level of degradation. The need for precise information about degraded pasture levels, localization and quantities leaded to the GEODEGRADE project.
