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 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.

Black Lentils: Tiny and black, a nutrition-packed snack, for energy that won’t lack!

Tune: “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”

🎵Black Lentils, full of grace, so fine.

Nutritional gems — top of the line.

Protein, fiber, a healthy find.

In dishes, they truly shine.

🎵Iron and energy, they bestow.

Digestive aid — a healthful flow.

Versatile in meals — a culinary show.
