I don't really get the second sentence,especially what 'for their part' means.

It's to show that the writer is comparing food wasted by producers, retailers, and consumers to the food wasted by households; at least in this case, you can ignore "for their part" and the sentence will still make sense.

@Makizebra: I think "for their part" may be referring to the householders, but that was a very poorly written sentence. Basically, about half of the food in Arizona is wasted and America does waste a very decent amount of their products.
