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.

Sapota: Sapota’s sweet embrace, a tropical taste, and grace!

Tune: “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star

🎵 Sapota, sweet and brown,

In your taste, we drown.

Rich in vitamins, a healthy bite,

Sapota, you’re pure delight!

In a salad, or just alone,

Sapota, how you’ve grown!

Sweet and tasty, a tropical treat,

Sapota, you’re so neat!

Good for digestion, skin so bright,

Sapota, you’re a healthy sight.

Boosts energy, and appetite,

Sapota, you’re just right!

In a pudding, or in a pie,

Sapota, you’re no lie.

Sweet and healthy, a perfect bite,

Sapota, you’re out of sigh 🎵
