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.

Bathua leaves: A hidden gem, for wellness and flavor, they’re the ultimate stem!

Tune: “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”

🎵 **Bathua Leaves**, leafy and wild,

Packed with fiber, nature’s prized child.

High in Vitamin A, they bring delight,

Boosting vision, oh, what a sight.

🎵 Nutrient-dense and earthy green,

**Bathua Leaves**, a healthy cuisine.
