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

Spinach– Spinach, the splendid source of strength

Prepared by 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.

Spinach– Spinach, the splendid source of strength!

Tune: “Row, Row, Row Your Boat”

🎵 **Spinach**, leafy and green,

A superfood, a nutritious dream.

Steamed or sautéed, in a dish it shines,

Its iron and vitamins, so divine.

🎵 Rich in antioxidants, a healthful dose,

**Spinach** nourishes from head to toes.
