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.

Bok Choy: The leafy star, in stir-fries and soups, it’ll take you far!

Tune: “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”

🎵 **Bok Choy**, Bok Choy crunchy and green,

High in Vitamin C, a vibrant scene.

Stir-fried or in a soup, it adds a delight,

Tender leaves, with a refreshing bite.

🎵 High in vitamins and fibre too,

**Bok Choy** brings wellness, it’s true.
