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 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.

Farro: Farro’s might, nutty and bright, wholesome grains in every bite!

Tune: “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”

🎵 Twinkle, twinkle, little grain,

Farro’s here to help my brain.

Full of fiber, protein too,

Keeps me strong in all I do.🎵

🎵 Makes my tummy feel so good,

Gives me energy like it should.

Iron, zinc, and vitamins there,

Helping me grow everywhere! 🎵

🎵Twinkle, twinkle, chewy bite,

Farro makes me feel so right.

In my salad, in my stew,

Farro’s healthy, good for you! 🎵

🎵 Twinkle, twinkle, little grain,

Farro helps me grow again.

Nutty flavor, healthy fun,

Farro’s good for everyone! 🎵
