Participants needed! Focus group

June 11, 2026

I recently received IRB approval for my Purdue University dissertation study, which focuses on food traceability practices, challenges, and training needs among produce supply chain stakeholders in Indiana.
As part of the first phase of the study, I am currently recruiting participants for virtual focus group discussions (45–60 minutes) with produce growers, packers, processors, distributors, food hubs, and other stakeholders involved in produce supply chains. The insights gathered will help inform the development of future educational and training resources related to food traceability.

Interested individuals can learn more and express interest using the following link: https://purdue.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3XmS3KftxRYDmrc

Participants who complete a focus group will receive a $20 digital gift card as appreciation for their time.
