June 1 (UPI) — World Milk Day, celebrated annually on June 1, was started by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in 2001 to “recognize the importance of milk as a global food.”
The FAO first declared the holiday in 2001 and it is now marked by social media campaigns and events held around the world to promote the dairy industry.
“This year’s theme will highlight the work already being done to accelerate climate action and help reduce the dairy sector’s impact on the planet,” the official World Milk Day website states. “Using the World Milk Day platform, we will aim to raise awareness of the messaging and action towards Dairy Net Zero.”
