Summary
• Grasslands in Brazil play a crucial role in animal food supply. • Reliable monitoring of pasture production is key for sustainable management. • Forage mass estimated in three pasture-based livestock systems. • The SAFER model explained over 67% of forage mass variability. • Most accurate forage mass estimates were in the extensive production system. Grasslands are vital for global food security, making reliable monitoring of forage mass (FM) essential for sustainable pasture management. The availability and quality of FM are key factors in determining the profitability of pasture-based farms. This study presents a replicable methodology for estimating FM using multi-sensor satellite data and an agrometeorological modeling framework. Conducted at the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corpo
