Nicholaas Pinas et al.

Summary: Rice is a vital crop in Maroon communities in Suriname and French Guyana, with hundreds of traditional varieties cultivated. By examining local variety names, we can understand the history, farming systems, spiritual significance, and diversity of rice in these communities. Our research involved interviews with 67 rice farmers, collection of over 400 rice specimens, and creation of a database with 284 unique rice names. Naming conventions varied among the Maroon groups studied, with categories including morphology, agronomy, animals, and humans.
