World Milk Day is celebrated annually on June 1 to recognise milk as a vital food and highlight the dairy sector's impact. The 2026 campaign focuses on celebrating women farmers. Milk provides essential nutrients that support bone health, growth, and immune function, making it crucial.

Milk is a leading provider of high-quality protein, calcium, and vitamins and minerals necessary for growth and development across the lifespan, yet contributes relatively few calories to the global food supply. This makes milk an efficient source of high-quality nutrition.
