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.

Kiwi: Kiwi, vibrant and green, a tropical dream, a taste unseen!

Tune: “Baa Baa Black Sheep”

🎵 “Kiwi, kiwi, green and bright,

Full of vitamins, day and night.

With fuzzy skin and sweet inside,

Kiwi, you’re our pride!

Rich in Vitamin C, for immunity’s boost,

Kiwi, you’re the absolute truth.

High in fiber, for digestion’s ease,

Kiwi, you always, please.

Kiwi, kiwi, green and bright,

Full of vitamins, day and night.

Packed with antioxidants, a healthy crown,

Kiwi, you wear the crown!

In a salad or a smoothie so cool,

Kiwi, you rule!

Kiwi, kiwi, green and bright,

Eating you is pure delight!” 🎵
