Tech on the Ground – Community Voices

Episode 4: Tech on the Ground – Community Voices In this episode of Tech to Table – Growing Cleveland’s Future, we take the conversation from the lab to the neighborhood. Host Anthony Gillespie sits down with two community leaders who are putting agricultural technology to work every day in Cleveland’s urban farms. Hear from Trey Williams, founder of Hood Honey, who’s building community resilience through beekeeping, pollinator education, and grassroots sustainability efforts in Mount Pleasant. Then, meet Sara Continenza, founder and executive director of Food Strong, whose nonprofit is transforming vacant lots into thriving gardens, operating a mobile farm stand, and advancing food equity across Northeast Ohio. Together, Trey and Sara share how innovation and community leadership intersect — showing that technology in the hands of local changemakers can strengthen food systems, empower neighborhoods, and shape a healthier, more sustainable future for Cleveland.
