World Milk Day: Origins, Meaning and Innovations in the Dairy Sector
World Milk Day is an annual celebration highlighting the importance of milk as a staple food for human nutrition and its role in sustaining global agricultural economies. This day, observed on June 1 each year, was proclaimed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in 2001 to raise awareness of the benefits of milk and milk products.
The Origins of the Festival The decision to dedicate a day to milk stems from the need to recognize and value the central role this food plays in the diet of millions of people. Milk is a valuable source of essential nutrients, such as calcium, protein, vitamins and minerals, which contribute to well-being and growth, especially in children. In addition, milk and dairy products are a significant component of the agricultural economy in many regions of the world, providing livelihoods for millions of farmers and dairy workers.
Why It Is Celebrated The celebration of World Milk Day has several objectives:
Raising Public Awareness: Informing consumers about the nutritional benefits of milk and promoting conscious consumption of dairy products.
Support Farmers: Support milk producers, recognizing their contribution to the economy and global food security.
Promote Innovation: Encourage the development and adoption of advanced technologies to improve the production, processing and quality of dairy products
