Abstract Food waste is a significant contributor to methane emissions and climate change. In the Philippines, many food establishments discard edible surplus food due to limited redistribution systems. This study aimed to design and develop Cravely, a secure and AI-integrated digital platform that promotes sustainable consumption and reduces food waste in selected barangays in Pampanga. The platform enables food establishments to redistribute surplus food at discounted prices while informing users about estimated methane emissions avoided through their purchases. Key features include surplus tracking, QR code-secured transactions, role-based user management, and an AI-driven methane estimation module for environmental impact analysis. A mixed-methods approach and iterative development process were utilized in developing and evaluating the system. Food business owners, residents, and IT professionals assessed the platform using software quality and user acceptance frameworks. Results showed high ratings in usability, efficiency, security, reliability, and perceived usefulness. The findings indicate that Cravely is a viable and scalable solution for reducing food waste, improving food accessibility, and increasing environmental awareness. The study highlights the potential of digital platforms in supporting sustainable practices and climate change mitigation efforts.
