​Michigan Agriculture Environmental Assurance Program

What is MAEAP?

​The Michigan Agriculture Environmental Assurance Program (MAEAP) is an innovative, proactive program that helps farms of all sizes and all commodities voluntarily prevent or minimize agricultural pollution risks through a three-phase process.

Three-phase Process:
  1. Education
  2. Farm-specific Risk Assessment
  3. On-farm Verification that ensures the farmer has implemented environmentally sound practices.

The program’s four systems each examine different aspects of the farm. The four systems are: 
  • Farmstead
  • Cropping
  • Livestock
  • Forest, Wetlands and Habitats​​
