Kangogo is a research scientist, based with Land Core and the Berkeley Agroecology Lab, to develop a risk model that will determine the risk mitigation economic benefits in fields that incorporate regenerative farm practices such as crop rotation, cover crop and reduced tillage in the US Midwest. In Berkeley Agroecology Lab lab, she is leading development of a remotely-sensed cover crop dataset for 9 states in the U.S. Midwest that will be openly available for non-commercial research upon completion. She is interested in the impact of agroecological practices to farming systems and ecosystem services and how this intricate relationships can be accurately captured in remote sensed datasets development to scale impact analysis and inform policies. She holds a masters in Development Engineering from UC Berkeley and Bachelor of Science in Telecommunications from Strathmore University in Kenya. 

She is also actively engaged in managing her father’s farm in Kenya and takes pleasure in learning about food cultures and how it influences how we connect within our societies.
