In this regard, environment protection campaigns, prove to be a robust method for expanding the awareness among people.

The expansive promotional and awareness programs in media has widened the consumer base for dairy-free alternatives. The rising wave of social awareness through internet is helping the demand for dairy-free products rise attractively in developing regions.
