Milk and dairy products provide the body with the nutrients it needs. Milk consumption is important, especially for children, as it keeps them nourished and healthy.

Milk has been a part of the daily diet since the Neolithic period. Humans kept livestock back then and learned how to extract nutrients from milk. However, over time, milk consumption has declined significantly due to changing consumer preferences, availability of milk alternatives and the distribution of industrialized milk in the market. World Milk Day is observed on June 1. This year’s celebrations focus on raising awareness about the importance of dairy products in the world’s food supply.
