The World Milk Day was first launched in 2001 by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) to celebrate and increase public awareness about the nutritional and economic importance of milk and milk products around the globe. Milk is an important part of a healthy diet and the World Milk Day provides the perfect opportunity to spread the word and celebrate all aspects of milk and 
dairy products.
Milk provides children with a variety of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients to keep them healthy and is especially important to help build and maintain strong bones. It is an important source of healthy nutrients and includes calcium, magnesium, zinc, phosphorus, iodine, iron, potassium, folates, vitamin A, vitamin D, riboflavin, vitamin B12, protein and fat. The World Milk Day is a great time to invite children to take a moment to enjoy a glass of milk and also be part of 
this celebration.
