CELEBRATING WORLD MILK DAY

  

World Milk Day is observed globally on 1st June every year to celebrate the important contributions of the dairy sector to sustainability, economic development, livelihoods, and nutrition.

 The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations established World Milk Day. The importance of milk as a global food item is highlighted today. This day is observed in many countries worldwide.

 In 2024, World Milk Day will be celebrated with a theme focusing on celebrating the vital role dairy plays in delivering quality nutrition to nourish the world. The theme aims to encourage people to learn about the important contributions of the dairy sector to good food, health, and nutrition. Dairy is an accessible, affordable, and nutrient-dense food, and an essential part of balanced diets across the world.

 Milk is an excellent source of vitamins and minerals, particularly calcium. It has an important role in bone health. Nutritionists recommend that people have milk and other dairy products, such as yoghurt and cheese, every day as part of a balanced diet.

 "Let's begin each day with the nutrients of milk so that we can be healthy and happy. Wishing you a joyous World Milk Day." "Enjoy it as you would butter or cheese, or as ice cream or yogurt." Happy International Milk Day!
