Milk has been a part of the daily diet since the Neolithic age. Humans had domesticated animals back then and learnt to extract nutrients from milk. However, with time, milk consumption reduced significantly due to changing consumer preferences, availability of milk substitutes and distribution of industrialised milk in the market. World Milk Day will be observed on June 1. This year, the celebrations are focused on raising awareness about the significance of dairy in nourishing the world.
