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.

Spelt: Yummy wheat, super neat, makes every meal a healthy treat!

Tune: “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”

🎵 Spelt, ancient grain so grand.

Nutrient titan at your command.

In bread or pasta, it’s a delight,

Promoting health with all its might.

🎵 Abundant fiber, protein’s grace,

Spelt enhances our well-being’s base.

Digestion improved, bones strong and true.
