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

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.

Banyan Tree Fig: Banyan Tree Fig, so grand and high, a taste of nature that reaches the sky!

Tune: “Mary Had a Little Lamb”

🎵 “Banyan tree with figs so sweet,

A delightful snack that can’t be beat.

Small and tender, with seeds inside,

Banyan figs, you’re a nature’s pride.

Rich in fiber, and packed with delight,

Banyan figs, you’re a healthy bite.
