Student QR Code Survey

by Amy Bayersdorfer, February 16, 2012

We participated in the Cal Poly Ag Showcase earlier this month, and were delighted to see that many of the students were knowledgeable about PTI and other traceability initiatives. One of those students is doing his Senior Project on traceability: he’s conducting a market research survey on QR (Quick Response) codes, those square 2D barcodes that are starting to appear on product packaging and advertising. Click on the link to take his brief survey https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/6C3KY8N – it took me less than five minutes. The survey will be live through February 24th.

'Have to say, we were delighted to see the caliber of students looking to join the produce space over the next couple of years!
