Since its establishment in 2011, Dairy Science Park (DSP) has emerged as a transformative force in the livestock sector across Pakistan and neighboring regions. Founded by Prof. M. Subhan Qureshi, DSP bridges academic innovation with real-world applications—generating income, creating jobs, and advancing environmental sustainability. Through its Triple Helix Model, linking academia, industry, and government, DSP has translated research into action, directly benefiting over 20,000 individuals, including farmers, youth, women, veterinary professionals, students, and entrepreneurs.
DSP has driven the development of climate-smart livestock systems through the establishment of Technoparks, business incubation platforms, quality assurance labs, and applied research hubs. These innovations have not only strengthened animal health and food security, but also significantly contributed to climate resilience.
DSP’s strategy for climate change mitigation includes improved livestock practices, methane reduction, biogas systems, and renewable energy. Together, these interventions have resulted in a measurable reduction of 47,138 tons of CO₂ emissions. Startups such as GreenWend Energy Pvt Ltd and SunSaviour have delivered over 49 million kWh of clean electricity to off-grid communities.
In addition to climate mitigation, DSP has had a wide-ranging societal impact, including enhanced health services, increased food production, and improved energy access. With strategic partners like FAO, ITC-UN, ISN Beijing, and Pakistan’s Ministry of Science and Technology, DSP is advancing toward the establishment of a National Eco-Security Commission. These efforts form a replicable, inclusive model of sustainable development to address urgent challenges like climate change, food insecurity, youth unemployment, and rural underdevelopment.
