My answer:
Food waste is by no means a developed-country-syndrome. Do you know how food is wasted flagrantly in China? If not, just go to attend a dinner or even a normal gathering of friends and you will find it out. And bear in your mind that China has a population of near 1.4 billion. Besides, let’s cast our sight to the poorest socialist country on the earth-DPRK. Not much we know about the country’s wast of food, yet it only needs a spot to know the skin of the leopard: just see this video of a kidnapped chef by DPRK’s deceased all-mighty leader:

.
Then let’s come to your question: how can we stop the waste of food all over this crazy planet? There is no immediate and effective solution. The only possible way to ameliorate the issue is the action taken by each individual: no matter you are an American, Canadian, Chinese, you should curb your culinary desire of consuming more food than you actually need.
You do this not because you think this may save other starving people, just because food is a gift by nature and motherland and it is produced by sweats and labours of farmers.
As a pessimistic person, I don’t believe there is anything more we can do. Legal measures within a nation is out of the question, for it is any issue too broad and complex to be settled by national legislation. If anyone believing it could be settled that way, he is actually claiming that the rich shall give their wealth away for the suffering.
It is more a moral issue rather than a legal issue.
However, there are still many things we individuals can do besides the food issue, like saving water, protecting the environment and showing more kindness to your family and neighbours and communities.
We may not save the world, but we may save our own soul.
