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

Recognizing that children’s limited diet impacts 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.

Arborio Rice: Smooth and nice, a perfect bite, richness in every grain of rice!

Tune: “London Bridge Is Falling Down”

🎵 Arborio rice, soft and white,

Gives you strength with every bite.

Full of carbs to make you go,

Helps you grow and grow and grow! 🎵

🎵 In risottos, it’s so sweet,

Yummy rice that’s fun to eat.

Makes you strong, helps you play,

Keeps you healthy every day! 🎵

🎵 Fiber helps your tummy too,

Makes you feel as good as new.

Gives you energy to run,

Healthy food that’s full of fun! 🎵

🎵 Eat it for a snack or meal,

Arborio is the real deal.

Soft and round, it’s good for you,

Healthy rice that’s fun to chew! 🎵
