MUMBAI: CNN International show 'Global office' sees the innovative
business show setting its sights on one of the few industries that
can boast of year on year growth: the food and drinks business.
In this episode, CNN's Kristie Lu Stout looks at the one of the
fastest growing sectors of the food industry, the reinvention of
a centuries-old beverage company, and one man who is looking to
preach his culinary gospel beyond his home shores.
Eating healthily has turned organic farming into a hugely lucrative
industry, with global sales of organic food approaching US$ 40 billion
a year. Global office looks at how major supermarket chains are
taking advantage of the organic trend and assesses whether it is
driven by altruistic goals or pure profit.
From there the show visits the headquarters of the largest beverage
company in the world. Diageo is the world's leading premium drinks
manufacturer, whose brands include Smirnoff, Johnnie Walker, Guinness,
Baileys and Crown Royale, and Global office spends time with CEO
Paul Walsh to discuss the delicate balancing act that is marketing
the company's alcoholic brands, and promoting sensible drinking.
After five cookbooks, three hot restaurants and a globally syndicated
cooking show, Australian celebrity chef Bill Granger is ready to
take the world by storm. Bill is now looking to expand his brand
beyond the shores of his home country; and he's set his sights on
the country where his passion for food began: Japan. But will diners
there be enraptured by Bill's creations? Global office finds out.
