Dairy Science Park (DSP; Urdu: ڈیری سائنس پارک; Pashto: د شيدو پوهنيز پارک) is a scientific organization initiated in Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan as a mission for the economic revival of northern Pakistan and the adjoining areas of Afghanistan. Dairy Science Park aims to improve the status of public health safety and food security in the region through productive utilization of and poultry resources, and to pass the relevant research of industrial importance through business incubation models.
Dairy Science Park focuses on the networking of small and medium-sized farms with service providers, markets, and emerging entrepreneurs. It wants to bring innovations in the local farming system to achieve the sustainable development goals of hygienic food production and self-employment generation in partnership with the United Nations.
The name "Dairy Science Park" was coined in 2010 in Cairo, Egypt jointly by Abdul Rahman Ilyas, who was then chief operating officer of the agri-science park of ICRISAT, India, and Muhammad Subhan Qureshi, during their discussion on productive utilization of the livestock resources of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Initially, the idea of Dairy Science Park had emerged from Chief Minister’s Livestock Development Plan, which was prepared by Muhammad Subhan Qureshi in 1998 on advice of the Chief Minister Sardar Mehtab Abbasi. Later in 2003, Qureshi's plan was also approved by the Chief Minister Akram Khan Durrani. In 2011, a series of international workshops on Dairy Science Park was started at the University of Agriculture, Peshawar. In 2014, Dairy Science Park gave birth to Peshawar Meat Company, and soon afterwards, Livestock Business Facilitation Desk of Dairy Science Park (LBFD-DSP) was inaugurated at Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chamber of Commerce and Industry by the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa agriculture minister Ikramullah Khan Gandapur. In November 2016, Dairy Science Park signed an MoU on "Collaborative Biorisk Management Initiative" with the University of Agriculture, Peshawar, Khyber Medical University, and the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan.
