Not much. Forage is the herbaceous plants that are eaten by livestock, be it harvested by man and fed to livestock, or that which livestock harvest themselves. Pasture is where much of livestock's forage is located, and where livestock like cattle, sheep and horses are able to harvest their own food through the process of grazing.

What are the differences between forage and pasture?
Forage refers to the edible parts of plants, primarily grasses and legumes, that animals consume for nutrition, which can include both wild and cultivated species. Pasture, on the other hand, is a managed area of land specifically planted with forage species for grazing livestock.
