This podcast, produced by ITN Business in partnership with Morrisons as part of the Future of Farming: Cultivating Resilience programme, looks at how innovation, collaboration, and sustainable practices are shaping the future of agriculture.

Hosted by Sangeeta Kandola we explore one of the most crucial topics in agriculture today - how we can balance the growing demands for nutritious food with the need to protect our planet. Morrisons is one of the largest buyers in British farming, directly buying from farmers across the UK and supporting them on their journey to net zero.

Join us as we speak with Andrew Edlin, Senior Sustainability Manager at Morrisons, Sophie Throup, Technical and Sustainability Director at Myton Food Group for Morrisons and Professor Michael Lee from Harper Adams University.

Find out more about the work Morrisons is doing, in our programme Future of Farming: Cultivating Resilience on the ITN Business Hub.

Why aren't women believed when they present with medical concerns? The historical notion that women are "hysterical" seems to have fed into a modern problem that comes up time and again: medical gaslighting.

Join us as Dr Nighat Arif discuss this, and other issues around women's healthcare, with three other "rock stars of women's health": Gynaecologic surgeon Dr Karen Tang, Sociologist Marieke Bigg, and Journalist Sarah Graham.

Welcome to ITN Business Extra's exclusive podcast episode, 'COP28 Reflections'. 

The conclusion of the 28th Conference of the Parties in Dubai marked a pivotal moment as over 100,000 attendees from 190 nations gathered to address climate change. This annual meeting evaluates global progress and sets the agenda for future action. Amidst scepticism about past unmet commitments, these conferences wield immense influence, serving as a platform for global collaboration while sparking debates about vested interests versus hope for collective action. 

The recent landmark agreement committing nations to transition away from fossil fuels by 2050 raises questions about the urgency of these words and intertwines with discussions on finance transformation, agricultural commitments, and ongoing deliberations on carbon trading.

Join host, Mary-Ann Ochota with guests Dr. Nina Seega, Director of the Centre for Sustainable Finance at the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership, and Mark Sommerfeld, Deputy Director of Policy at the Association for Renewable Energy and Clean Technology, to explore the implications of COP decisions, their significance for business leaders, and the critical path ahead.
