WORLD MILK DAY 2022: The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations adopted June 1 as World Milk Day in 2001. The day is marked to recognise milk as global food and to celebrate the dairy industry. Since then, the day has been celebrated with events and campaigns promoting the benefits of milk and dairy products, with a focus on highlighting the dairy industry’s contribution to providing livelihood to more than a billion people around the globe.
This year, the celebration will begin with a dairy rally from May 29 to May 31 and conclude on June 1 with World Milk Day.
