How effectively do current advocacy approaches reduce animal product consumption?

Context and Relevance:
With increasing animal product consumption leading to adverse outcomes, understanding the effectiveness of current advocacy approaches is essential for developing impactful strategies to reduce consumption and improve welfare. Researching less-studied approaches and their efficacy can guide future interventions and policies.

Potential Research Approach:

Effectiveness of Food Waste Interventions:
Evaluate the extent to which food waste interventions reduce animal product consumption compared to no intervention. Use rigorous methods to assess the impact on dietary patterns, and compare outcomes in different settings or populations.

Cost-Effectiveness of School Interventions:
Analyze the cost-effectiveness of different interventions aimed at reducing animal product use in public schools over a two-year period. Compare various strategies to identify the most economically efficient and impactful approaches.

Interventions for Farmed Fish and Invertebrates:
Investigate which interventions are most effective for reducing consumption or improving welfare of farmed fish and invertebrates. Assess the practicalities and impact of these interventions through both qualitative and quantitative methods.

Impact of Disruptive Protest:
Examine the long-term impact of disruptive protest on animal product consumption. Review the best available evidence, both qualitative and quantitative, to understand how such protests influence public behavior and policy.

Comparative Analysis of Advocacy Approaches:
Conduct a comparative analysis of various advocacy approaches for reducing animal product consumption. Assess which methods are most effective and why, considering factors such as context, implementation, and stakeholder engagement.
