Foundation History
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.
