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

Carrot — Crunchy carrots, the colorful key to health!

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.

Carrot — Crunchy carrots, the colourful key to health!

Tune: “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”

🎵 **Carrot**, orange and sweet,

High in Vitamin A, a perfect treat.

Raw as a snack or cooked in a stew,

It’s a versatile veggie that’s good for you.

🎵 High in fiber and Vitamin K too,

**Carrot** brings health benefits through and through.
