mi agriculture environmental assurance program

MAEAP
The Michigan Agriculture Environmental Assurance Program (MAEAP) is an innovative, proactive, and voluntary program that helps farms of all sizes and all commodities voluntarily prevent or minimize agricultural pollution risks.

Get Verified!
How to Get Started With MAEAP
This comprehensive, voluntary, proactive program is designed to reduce farmers’ legal and environmental risks through a three-phase process: 1) education; 2) farm-specific risk assessment; and 3) on-farm verification that ensures the farmer has implemented environmentally sound practices. The program’s three systems — Farmstead, Cropping and Livestock — each examine different aspects of the farm. After becoming MAEAP verified, a farm can display a MAEAP sign signifying that MAEAP partners recognize the farm is environmentally assured.


MAEAP also has a Forest, Wetland and Habitat A Syst verification! This comprehensive, voluntary, proactive program is designed to reduce forest landowner's legal and environmental risks through a similar three phase process, and can also be used to identify possible practices, and funding sources to help implement those practices.
