Harmonizing health & biodiversity, our melodic food for health rhymes initiative can ignite kid’s 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.

Garden Cress: Small but mighty, adds a zesty kick that’s oh so sprightly

Tune: “Row, Row, Row Your Boat”

🎵 **Garden Cress**, tiny and green,

A microgreen powerhouse, rarely seen.

Rich in iron, calcium, and vitamin C,

Boosts immunity, bone health, vitality.

🎵 Packed with nutrients, a mighty punch,

Its flavor adds zest to any lunch.
