Today, on June 1, we join the global community in celebrating World Milk Day, an annual observance initiated by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in 2001. This special day honors the essential role of milk as a universal food staple, highlighting its vital contributions to the world's nutrition, economy, and agriculture.
This year’s World Milk Day theme spotlights the indispensable role dairy plays in offering quality nutrition worldwide. Recognized for its nutritional value, dairy continues to be an integral, accessible, and affordable component of diets across the globe.
In commemoration of this day, we are excited to launch a series of stories that explore the innovative and impactful initiatives by milk producers and processors globally. These narratives not only celebrate the industry’s achievements but also underscore the significant impact of dairy on nourishing communities.
An example of Local and Global Dairy Initiatives:
California’s Commitment: In California, the California Milk Advisory Board (CMAB) is making strides against food insecurity, which affects over 3 million households. This June, in partnership with Raley's Food For Families program, CMAB will distribute essential milk and dairy products to families in need, reinforcing the role of dairy in enhancing community health.
Wisconsin’s Dairy Pride: In Wisconsin, known for its rich dairy farming heritage, June Dairy Month is a period of celebration. Chad Vincent, CEO of Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin, invites everyone to partake in the festivities. "This June, let’s unite to celebrate our proud dairy farming traditions. Whether it’s enjoying a scoop of ice cream, a slice of cheese, or simply expressing gratitude to a dairy farmer, every gesture counts in appreciating the dedication behind our exceptional dairy products," said Vincent.
As we mark World Milk Day, we encourage everyone to join in the global festivities. Share your dairy delights and experiences on social media using the hashtags #WorldMilkDay and #EnjoyDairy. Let’s raise a glass to the remarkable contributions of the dairy sector in feeding the world with safe, nutritious, and delicious products.

"1 billion people working in the dairy industry feed the entire world. When the dairy farming sector is accused of emissions, I assure you that I can say dairy farming is already carbon neutral," Mr. Brazzale noted.
The expert emphasized the importance for the entire industry to stay connected with consumers.
