WHAT is an EFP?
The EFP program provides a voluntary, confidential self-assessment process for farmers to evaluate the environmental risks and strengths of their operations and develop a plan to address those risks and strengths.
The EPP process helps producers to:
Learn more about how agriculture practices affect the environment
Learn more about management options that protect soil, air and habitat quality
Identify that they are already doing well and where improvements could be made
