World Milk Day is Tuesday 1 June 2021. It is a day established in 2001 by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations to celebrate and increase public awareness about the nutritional and economic importance of milk and milk products around the globe.
We encourage all consumers to raise a glass to milk and dairy products and to say a big thank you to the UK’s Dairy Farmers who comply with some of the highest regulations on animal health and welfare, as well as environmental standards.
There are so many benefits of including milk and dairy in our lives – nutritionally, economically and environmentally:
Milk is the fifth largest provider of energy and the third largest provider of protein and fat for humans which is essential to reduce hunger and malnutrition particularly amongsth the most vulnerable such as pregnant women and children. In addition to providing children with a variety of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients to keep them healthy, milk is especially important to help build and maintain strong bones.
