Welcome

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.

To get started…

Attend an Educational Meeting. See the Upcoming Events or view one of the MAEAP Educational Sessions for Phase 1 Credit.
