Food company CEOs tell Evan Davis how they satisfy customer appetites.

Food company CEOs tell Evan Davis how they balance demand for locally sourced produce with consumers' taste for something exotic.

The food industry is increasingly in the spotlight as consumers and government worry about obesity, sustainability and safety.
