Every year, billions of kilograms of fresh produce are wasted in the United States.The food ends up in landfills, producing harmful greenhouse gases.Meanwhile, millions of poor Americans go hungry, without access to healthy, affordable meals.Evan Lutz is passionate about correcting that social injustice. And he combines that goal with a passion for business."My entire life I've wanted to become a social entrepreneur, not just starting a business that made money but also one that gave back.I'm just an average guy with a passion towards, towards making sure no food goes to wasteand making sure no person's ever hungry in America and I want to do that through business."Lutz is CEO and founder of Hungry Harvest. Hungry Harvest is a business which collects and sells "ugly" produce.These are fruits and vegetables that most food companies would throw away.Lutz says more than six billion pounds are wasted each year due to surface imperfections and processing inefficiencies.
