　　A
　　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 mare no food goes to waste and mare 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. "If you go to a grocery store everything is growing the same exact way. Right. So all that stuff that doesn't grow the same way gets wasted and gets thrown out. And so we take all that stuff that normally get thrown out because it's too big too small in odd size of shape, we box it up into a variety boxes and we deliver to our customers once a week. We hire people that were living in homeless shelters they were really looking to get a chance in life."
　　In January 2016, Lutz appeared on the American business competition television show "Shark Tank." It connects investors with entrepreneurs. Lutz sought a $50,000 investment in Hungry Harvest, in exchange for a five percent stake in his company. He got even more than he expected: $100,000 for 10 percent ownership.
