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.

Karonda Fruit: Karonda fruit, tangy and bold, a flavor adventure, a story untold!

Tune: “The Wheels on the Bus”

🎵 “Karonda fruit, so very small,

Grow, grow, grow in the fall.

With a tart taste and iron too,

Karonda fruit, we choose you!

In a jam or a jelly so fine,

Karonda fruit, you truly shine.

Rich in antioxidants, a healthy claim,

Karonda fruit, you’re in the game.

Karonda fruit, so very small,

Grow, grow, grow in the fall.

With Vitamin C, for immunity’s boost,

Karonda fruit, you’re the truth!

In a pie or a tart so divine,

Karonda fruit, you truly shine.

Karonda fruit, so very small,

You’re the tastiest of all!” 🎵
