It's 8-10% of global emissions, so pretty significant - even a tenth of that is a lot. And relatively little food is wasted during production (though it's the part with the most uncertainty), most food is lost at the end of the chain, with the consumer. At least in Germany, and probably other wealthy countries.
Why? Why not, food is cheap, though not as dirt cheap as it used to be. Germans spend about a tenth of their income on food, Africans 70%. There's little incentive for people here not to waste it beyond moral obligations.
