L'initiative is part of "Milk in schools" the program of the Ministry of agricultural, food, forestry and tourism policies financed with EU funds which aims to promote the consumption of milk and dairy products among primary school students.

Mipaaft asked Unioncamere to continue the 2018-2019 scholastic year, considering the good results achieved last school year, with the involvement of over 365.000 children between the 6 and the 11 years, and more than 1.000 primary schools throughout the national territory.

At the conference we will talk about milk and dairy products in various aspects, from nutritional and health, to the information on the label, the origin of the milk and the actions to promote the supply chain, but also how to carry out activities together with the children, with the aim to promote the knowledge of the supply chain, the raw material and the process that, from the field, brings this product on our tables.
