Marking World Milk Day, celebrated on 1st of June, the Ministry for Agriculture, Fisheries and Animal Rights, the Malta Food Agency, the Milk Producers Cooperative (KPH) and Benna organised a special educational event on a farm in Gozo.
Children from Xewkija Primary School had the opportunity to learn first-hand where fresh milk comes from.
Through practical activities, the pupils discovered the role of cows in the milk production process, gaining a deeper understanding of how milk reaches their tables.
Minister Anton Refalo, who attended the event, said,
“A day like this reminds us that milk is not only essential for our health but also forms part of our agricultural identity. When we instil appreciation among children, we are building a future with greater respect for farming and local produce.”
Brian Vella, CEO of the Malta Food Agency, highlighted the importance of supporting local farmers and encouraging a culture of healthy, locally sourced eating from an early age.
He added, “When we buy and consume a Maltese product, we are giving value to what is truly ours, made with care and a sense of pride.”
