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.
