Editing World School Milk Day

'''World School Milk Day'''


World School Milk Day is held all over the world on the last Wednesday of September every year to celebrate the benefits and success of school milk programmes. The first World School Milk Day was celebrated in September 2000 and has since become an annual event promoted by the FAO  (Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations).

Launched in 2000, it has become an annual event and is there to celebrate school milk programmes along with educating children about the benefits of drinking milk.

World School Milk Day is promoted by the Food and Agriculture (FAO) of the United Nations and is now celebrated in over 30 countries around the world.

Supporting school milk
Celebrations can be at any level – from national or regional events to individual schools. In the UK we have a long history of supporting school milk and over 100 years ago formally recognised the role school milk could play in combatting poor nutrition in children.

Schools can celebrate by incorporating activities into their classroom or school lunchboxes. Check out our NFU Education website for some fun ideas in both English and Welsh language to suit all ages and linked to the National curriculum. 

Alternatively, children could work in groups to set up a farm shop business and design, make and market a new lunchtime food product using dairy products.
