Direct products of finitely generated free groups have a surprisingly rich subgroup structure. We will talk about how the finiteness properties of a subgroup of a direct product relate to the way it is embedded in the ambient product. Central to this connection is a conjecture on finiteness properties of fibre products, which we will present along with different approaches towards solving it.
