Home Overview Preventing Pollution in Agriculture is to reduce or eliminate the generation of potential sources of environmental contamination.
Methods can include source reduction, recycling and reuse alternatives.
Goals of the program are to develop partnerships which prevent agricultural pollution through increased efficiency while maintaining or improving on-farm profitability. The agricultural industry had summarized several agricultural pollution prevention recommendations in their 1995 Non-point Source Task Force document . Both Directors Harding and Wyant have endorsed this landmark Pollution Prevention Strategy which has set forth pollution prevention efforts in Michigan. Conclusions will be presented in conferences, workshops, media articles, videos and tours. If you have additional Michigan private-public partnerships that promote agricultural pollution prevention efforts, please contact Terri Novak .
