Michigan Agriculture Environmental Assurance Program (MAEAP) technicians work hand-in-hand with farmers to examine different aspects of their farms through risk assessment system tools, and all the way through implementation of environmentally sound practices to reduce identified risks.

​

There are four risk assessment systems divided into Farmstead, Cropping, Livestock, and Forest, and Wetlands & Habitats, each examines a different aspect of the farm and multiple systems can be used on one farm.
