World Milk Day is celebrated every year on June 1. This day is celebrated to bring the importance of milk as a global food to the forefront and to promote dairy farming and the dairy industry. World Milk Day, established by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, has been observed across the world since its inception in 2001. Over time, the FAO has carried out various campaigns to raise awareness about the nutritional value and significance of milk in a balanced diet.
Significance
World Milk Day is marked to celebrate the contributions of the milk and
dairy sector to the human population around the globe. As per FOA, the day
provides a chance to draw attention to milk and to publicise milk-related
events and activities. The fact that several countries chose the same day adds
to the significance of specific national celebrations and demonstrates that
milk is a globally used food.
Moreover, on World Milk Day, the focus is on encouraging manufacturing
methods that reduce water consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, as well as
promoting animal welfare and safe working conditions. The focus is also placed
on the larger economic impact of the dairy industry on the global economy. From
providing jobs to millions of people to giving rise to several sub-industries,
the impact of the dairy industry is not just appreciated but also studied on
the occasion of World Milk Day.
