How rice hidden by a woman fleeing slavery in the 1700s could help her descendants
Suriname's Saamaka Maroons still grow rice from seeds an ancestor escaping from a plantation carried in her hair. Now a gene bank seeks to widen use of the rare species to help fight the climate crisis.
When enslaved Africans escaped the Surinamese plantations overseen by Dutch colonists from the 17th to the 19th century, several women ingeniously hid rice grains in their hair to grow when they found refuge deep in the Amazon rainforest. Now, centuries later, a gene bank is working to save Suriname's rare rice species while also preparing communities to be more resilient to the climate crisis.
As the impacts of the climate crisis are felt globally, rural farming communities are exceptionally vulnerable to extreme climate events, such as dry spells and heavy rainfall.
A 2021 World Bank study found that Suriname was "particularly prone to major threats posed by flooding, drought and high winds during extreme weather events". Maintaining a variety of crop species and seeds can assist these communities in meeting their food needs.
In Suriname, Maroon families clear small plots of land for subsistence farming using slash-and-burn techniques.

Certain species of dark rice grains can be consumed but are also used for ceremonial purposes by Maroon communities.
