Professor Bird’s colleagues, students and family organized the Foundation in 2022, in honor of his research, teaching contributions to the domains of Integrated Pest Management (IPM), Sustainable Agriculture and Sustainable-Equitable Development. These transdisciplinary contributions were made possible because of Professor Bird’s training in nematology, plant pathology, entomology, and horticulture.
