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

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.

Litchi: Litchi, sweet and juicy, a tropical treat, oh so groovy!

Tune: “If You’re Happy and You Know It”

🎵 “If you want a fruit that’s sweet, choose a litchi,

If you want a tasty treat, choose a litchi.

With a rough skin outside, and a juicy inside,

If you want a fruit that’s sweet, choose a litchi, bite!

Litchi, litchi, you’re so fine,

In a dessert, you shine!
