Today is World Milk Day. The Day is marked to celebrate the contributions of the milk and dairy sector to the human population around the globe. World Milk Day was established by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations in 2001, to recognize the importance of milk as a global food, and to celebrate the dairy sector. The theme for this year is “Dairy Net Zero”.
This is a day to recognise the value of milk in our lives. It is commemorated to honour the dairy industry’s success and importance in the world.
The dairy sector is significant since it not only provides food to a large number of people, but also supports many people’s livelihoods. Milk is a rich source of several minerals and nutrients that are necessary for the body’s proper functioning. It is rich in calcium and vitamin D. It also has high potassium content.
With magnesium and a lot of folates, milk is a nutritious drink. Its consumption can help strengthen bones and lower the risks of heart diseases. Milk is a staple in the diets of many people all over the world. Milk’s worldwide significance is unimaginable.
