There is widespread agreement that regenerative agriculture has the potential to transform the global food industry, but how might that look in practice in the food service sector? In this episode of the Food Matters Live podcast, recorded live at our event in Manchester in November 2024, our panel of experts answers that question. The food service supply chain has some unique challenges that, on the face of it, could make it more difficult to bring regenerative practices to the fore. But with every great challenge, comes great opportunity, and if this episode shows us nothing else, it reveals some of the great work that is already being done. Guests: Hattie Park, Head of Sustainability, The All England Lawn Tennis Club. Jonathan Davies, Managing Director, Levy

The Head of the Wimbledon Foundation, Paige Murphy, talks with Alberto Lidji, former CEO of the Novak Djokovic Foundation, about the charitable work of the Wimbledon Foundation, their key partnerships and the invaluable role of sports in providing essential skills for education and employment. The Wimbledon Foundation is the official charity of the All England Lawn Tennis Club and the Championships. Their mission is to champion opportunity for all, and they aim to leverage the resources of the Club and the Championships to make a positive difference in people's lives. As the Wimbledon Foundation approaches its 10th Anniversary, we learn about their trajectory; their COVID response work; and their current support of 100 local charities in the London boroughs of Merton and Wandsworth, key partnerships with WaterAid and the British Red Cross, and their support of ‘Set for Success' – an initiative delivered by the Youth Sport Trust that is also supported by Barclays – the official banking partner of the Championships. Interestingly, the Wimbledon Foundation does not focus on tennis. Rather, their goals are to strengthen the local community, promote active and healthy lives, inspire the next generation of young people, and respond at times of need. They support their partners in diverse ways and are always thinking creatively about how to make a difference. Thank you for downloading this episode of the Do One Better Podcast.

*) Relentless Russian attacks pound Mariupol Russian forces have tightened the noose around Ukrainian troops holed up in Mariupol's last known stronghold. A few thousand Ukrainian troops are believed to be inside the Azvostal steel plant. Kiev says some 2,000 civilians are also trapped there. Ukraine says it is ready to hold talks without any conditions to save their lives. Kiev has ignored Moscow's demands to surrender. A desperate attempt to evacuate civilians from the besieged city failed on Wednesday as Russian forces moved to take complete control. *) Israeli warplanes strike Gaza as tensions soar Israeli jets have struck besieged Gaza, hours after a rocket was allegedly fired from the Palestinian enclave into Israel. It is the second such incident in 48 hours and comes at a time when tensions between Israel and Palestine are running high. Warplanes targeted two sites in central and southern Gaza early on Thursday. No casualties have been reported. Israel says it has responded to a rocket attack on Israel's southern city of Sderot. Police say the rocket caused slight damage to a house. *) Macron warns Le Pen risks 'civil war' in France French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen has said during a televised debate that she stands by her controversial idea of banning the headscarf. Responding to this, President Emmanuel Macron has warned that his far-right rival risks sparking a "civil war" in the European country. Macron and Le Pen clashed bitterly over relations with Russia and the headscarf issue as they sought to sway undecided voters in Wednesday's debate. France faces a stark choice in Sunday's presidential run-off between the centrist Macron and the far-right Le Pen. *) UK court formally issues order to extradite Assange to US A UK court has issued a formal order to extradite WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to the United States to face trial over the publication of secret files. The decision now rests with Interior Minister Priti Patel, although Assange may still appeal within 14 days of any decision to approve the extradition. Wednesday's ruling by a magistrate in central London brings the long-running legal saga in the UK courts closer to a conclusion. Assange, 50, is wanted in the US on 18 criminal charges, including breaking a spying law. He denies any wrongdoing. And, finally... *) Wimbledon bans Russian, Belarusian players Wimbledon has banned Russian and Belarusian players from the 2022 tournament in response to the Ukraine conflict. The All England Lawn Tennis Club, which runs Wimbledon, has said it is acting to "limit Russia's global influence through the strongest means possible". Tennis associations ATP and WTA have branded the move "unfair" and "very disappointing". Russian men's world number two Daniil Medvedev and Belarusian female world number four Aryna Sabalenka are the leading players affected by the ban.

An unfiltered discussion between the leaders of the BBC and Wimbledon.Leaders in Conversation is a new series that puts you in the room, fly-on-the-wall style, for a discussion between the most influential leaders in sports and media. Our first episode is with Tim Davie and Sally Bolton, both of whom took the helm at their historic British institutions just over a year ago.Tim Davie became Director-General of the BBC on 1st September 2020. He is the 17th Director-General of the Corporation. Prior to this, Davie was Chief Executive of BBC Studios, the BBC's principal commercial subsidiary. Responsible for creating and distributing content globally; Davie led BBC Studios from April 2013. Whilst in the role, he oversaw the merger between the BBC's production arm and BBC Worldwide, the Corporation's distribution company, and was responsible for an annual turnover of over £1.4billion.Sally Bolton is Chief Executive at the All England Lawn Tennis Club, having previously held the roles of Strategic Planning & Operations Director and Head of Corporate Affairs at the Club. Prior to this, Bolton spent two years as Managing Director of the Organising Committee for the London World Athletic Championships in 2017. Bolton assumed this role having led the team that delivered a highly successful Rugby League World Cup in 2013, a role for which she was recognized with the award of an OBE.In this unmoderated conversation recorded as part of October's Leaders Week London, the two leaders reflect on the challenges of reforming, modernising and pioneering in what was a fascinating glimpse in to the day-to-day of leading uniquely British establishments.

The oldest tennis tournament in the world may be steeped in history, but that doesn't stop the common folk like us from enjoying a match, traditional Pimm's or donning our Wimbledon whites.  1. There's a strict dress code at the prestigious tournament, requiring players to wear all white. (Rumor has it was that it was because it didn't show sweat like other colors). Now we all know that nothing ruins your summer whites like bird poop. Luckily you don't have to worry about that at Wimbledon. Rufus is a specially trained hawk that keeps those pooping pigeons away from the grounds. Like a good predator, Rufus flies above the grounds for one hour (9:00 am) most mornings before the gates open to keep the birds away.  2. Did you know that Wimbledon is the largest single annual sporting event in Europe from a catering perspective? In previous years, spectators consumed over 276,000 glasses of Pimm's to wash down 18,061 servings of fish and chips. Although this year, those numbers might be a little lower as fan capacity is limited to 50% occupancy until the men's and women's finals, when the stadium will be at 100% capacity. The tournament has served 4,242 servings of sushi and 6,147 of pasta to their racket-wielding athletes. 3. The tennis balls are replaced every seven to nine games to ensure they're kept in perfect shape. It's no wonder more than 53,000 tennis balls are used during the two-week tournament. But did you know that tennis balls used to be white or black, not yellow? They were changed to yellow to make it easier for the TV viewer to see the ball, but Wimbledon was a late adopter to the color change, waiting until the 80s.   4. Grunting is something no longer left to gremlins and grumpy old men. Even the classiest of tennis players vocalize their play. While you may think this is a new thing, Monica Seles and Jimmy Connors are known as the original creators of the tennis grunt. The loudest one on the court? Russia's Maria Sharapova at 105 decibels – the equivalent of standing next to an accelerating motorcycle.  5. The biggest news about Wimbledon is who isn't going to be there. Naomi Osaka and Rafael Nadal have both dropped out of the tournament. But instead of looking at the glass half empty, let's talk about how Serena Williams will be there to go for her record-tying 24 Grand Slam win. Or the two of the biggest names in men's tennis, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic, will take the court. Djokovic has won the first two Grand Slam tournaments (aka majors) this year. (Wimbledon is the third major of the year). Bonus: Last year's tournament was cancelled but don't feel too bad. The All-England Lawn Tennis Club had been paying pandemic insurance for 17 years, and it finally paid off with a rumored payout of $141 million.

Wimbledon Head of Communications, Content, and Digital Alex Willis in conversation with her mentor, IBM Global Markets CMO Caroline Taylor. Episode 63 of the Leaders Sport Business Podcast features the first instalment in a new mini-series of podcasts: Me & my mentor - a series of conversations that get to the heart of mentor-mentee relationships across the sports industry.

Willis is one of the leading lights in a new generation of sports industry digital and marketing specialists.

It is 50 years since Rod Laver won the 1969 Wimbledon Championships, a year in which he won a 2nd calendar Grand Slam. He sat down to chat with Brett Phillips at the All England Lawn Tennis Club

Club Director at Wimbledon's All England Lawn Tennis Club, Martin Guntrip, joins Alberto Lidji to talk about the Wimbledon Foundation and the inner workings of the world's most prestigious Grand Slam tennis tournament. The Wimbledon Foundation was founded in 2013, and the All England Lawn Tennis Club has been involved in charitable work for many years prior.  One could say the Foundation was a way of formalising a philanthropic undercurrent that has been an important part of the Club’s ethos for many years. Wimbledon wholeheartedly embraces gender equality and every aspect of the tournament is equal irrespective of gender. Interestingly, over 50% of those coming through the gates to watch the Championships in person are women.  About 40,000 visitors per day come in to watch the Championships during the two weeks. Martin speaks candidly about the inner workings of the world’s most prestigious Grand Slam tennis tournament – we hear how tennis stars’ entourages are getting larger, how ice baths are now a default feature and how the strict dress code is a key differentiator that’s unlikely to change any time soon. There’s a constant drive to improve the Club and the Championships.  We hear of the ‘Grand Slam Committee’, where representatives of all four Grand Slams engage with each other to exchange notes and improve how things are done. Indeed, Martin attends most Grand Slam tournaments every year. Martin has been in the world of tennis for most of his life; having played in the Championships during the early 1980s.  His passion for the sport, and for the Wimbledon Foundation’s philanthropic work, comes through loud and clear. The Wimbledon Foundation is active locally, nationally and internationally. They have established fruitful partnerships with the likes of WaterAid and Magic Bus. Most of the funding comes from the Club, the Championships and from members.  Locally, through their ‘Wimbledon Junior Tennis Initiative’, they introduce approximately 14,000 children to the world of tennis annually – they work closely with primary schools in the boroughs of Wandsworth and Merton and make a point to support local causes – over 50% of their giving is local. Sustainability has also become a key consideration. Last year, the Championships removed all plastic straws and this year their partner, Evian, is launching a 100% recycled water bottle. Martin notes that the All England Lawn Tennis Club has 500 members and he jokes that the easy way to become a member of the All England Lawn Tennis Club is simply to win Wimbledon.  Interestingly, many people don’t know that the All England Lawn Tennis Club is active throughout the year, as are most regular tennis clubs – not just during the two weeks of the Championships – and players like Andy Murray can be seen practising there throughout the year. Martin notes that sometimes it can be a bit embarrassing playing tennis when you have Andy Murray hitting balls in an adjacent court! The 'Key Takeaway' he shares with listeners: find out what’s unique about you or your organisation and find a way to give whatever is special about you to others.  People are very appreciative when you do. -- For full episode notes, guest bios and useful links, visit Lidji.org  Please subscribe to this podcast if you enjoy it.
