The produce safety teams from Auburn University, Alabama A&M University, and the University of Georgia invite industry members to participate in a survey to collect information about knowledge gaps in food safety practices among indoor produce growers.

You may participate in the survey if you are an adult over 18 years of age and are a produce grower, harvester, packer, seller, food safety personnel, or otherwise involved in the production of fresh produce using indoor agriculture methods, including hydroponics and aquaponics.

Participants will be asked to complete an online Qualtrics survey, which will take around 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the grower’s food safety practices.

The survey is voluntary and anonymous. There are no costs to complete the survey, and your participation will be used to improve the quality of food safety training and outreach programs for indoor, soilless growing. Additionally, if you choose, you may provide contact information to be entered into a raffle. Ten participants will be randomly selected to win after the survey is closed. If you do not wish to enter the raffle or provide contact information, you may still complete the survey without doing so.

The purpose of this survey is to improve the quality of food safety educational programs and to develop a targeted food safety educational curriculum for indoor produce growers.
