3. Specification
   1. The aim of this output is to explore the histories, impacts and consequences of animal agriculture and explore what tools, methodologies and approaches are being used to end animal oppression, evaluate their effectiveness and explore what an antispeciesist & anarchist agroecology could look like and how it could be achieved.
4. Areas of Research
   1. Community Organising
      1. What tools, methodologies & approaches are being used to challenge animal agriculture and wider animal oppression?
      2. How is the health of the animal liberation movement and what are the points of intervention to improve the effectiveness of the movement?
      3. What are the previous patterns of agricultural change and how could these inform how agroecology could be spread wider and faster?
      4. How are groups currently resisting or proactively challenging industrial agriculture?
      5. What libertarian models of food production are there? And how could their learnings be applied to movements in Western Europe?
   2. Agroecology
      1. Why and how did we domesticate animals for food production?
      2. What are the current patterns of animal farming? Including neocarnist trends?
      3. How has animal farming affected the patterns of our landscapes?
      4. What are the ecological roles of animals in agroecological systems? Can they be optimised with self-determining animals or plant based approaches?
