Harmonizing health & biodiversity, our melodic food for health rhymes initiative can ignite kids’ love for diverse foods in a fun and engaging way.

Alfa Alfa — Fuel Your Body with Green Vitality!

Srinivasa K. Rao, Ph.D.

Recognizing that children’s limited diet impacts both their health and the planet’s biodiversity, we propose to foster a love for diverse foods through the universal language of music. We created nursery rhymes, each featuring a different food item, set to familiar tunes. We hope these rhymes will not only educate children about the nutritional benefits of various foods but also stimulate demand for diverse crops, ultimately contributing to biodiversity.

This initiative promises a fun, engaging way to cultivate healthier habits in children while safeguarding our planet.

Alfa Alfa — Fuel Your Body with Green Vitality!

Tune “Mary Had a Little Lamb”

🎵 **Alfalfa** sprouts, green and tall,

Rich in vitamins, they have it all.

High in fiber, a digestive aid,

Eating **alfalfa**, health is made.

🎵 Add them to salads, sandwiches too,
