World Milk Day FAQ

What are the themes for World Milk Day?

In 2024, World Milk Day will focus on celebrating the vital role dairy plays in delivering quality nutrition to nourish the world. Dairy is an accessible, affordable, and nutrient-dense food, and an essential part of balanced diets across the world.

• Sustainability practices in the dairy sector.
• How dairy contributes to economic development and livelihoods.

How can I share my World Milk Day campaign with the rest of the world?

We want World Milk Day to be known around the world and for people to see the creativity of World Milk Day organizers by having access to live and recorded images of all the campaigns taking place around the world. World Milk Day will build in particular on social media to make sure that all campaigns are shared widely and sometimes live or with little delay.

When designing your campaign, you should consider the following options:

• Use the hashtag #WorldMilkDay & #EnjoyDairy on social media.
• Capturing images of your campaign: any visual material that can be shared on social media will be useful. Take pictures, post them on social media with #WorldMilkDay & #EnjoyDairy or email them to us.
• Writing about your campaign: you can write a blog post before and after the campaign explaining why you are involved in celebrating World Milk Day.
• Recording parts of my campaign: any type of video content (edited and non-edited) showing what your campaign looks like can be sent to us to be uploaded on social media platforms  (#WorldMilkDay & #EnjoyDairy on Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter).

It is very important that you take into consideration any Intellectual Property Rights:

Do you have consent? Get consent from anyone being shown on a video before featuring them (including parental consent if showing children).

Have you considered copyrights? Streaming artwork, logos, and songs in the background could be an inadvertent infringement of someone else’s intellectual property rights so keep this in mind.

We continue to encourage short videos from farmers that showcase sustainability practices in place on your farm or at your company. You can help by developing these short videos, and sharing them on social media as we re-introduce dairy farmers to the world. Videos can be sent directly to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or via WeTransfer. Videos should be 15-30 seconds long, filmed using a camera or mobile device, and in Landscape mode or shot using 1:1 dimensions for easy sharing across all social channels.
