Chitemene (also spelled citemene), from the ciBemba word meaning “place where branches have been cut for a garden”, is a system of slash and burn agriculture practiced throughout northern Zambia. It involves coppicing or pollarding of standing trees in a primary or secondary growth Miombo woodland, stacking of the cut biomass, and eventual burning of the cut biomass in order to create a thicker layer of ash than would be possible with in situ burning. Crops such as maize, finger millet, sorghum, or cassava are then planted in the burned area.[1]

  • Chitemene (parfois citemene), est un mot de la langue chiBemba qui signifie « couper » ; il désigne une forme d'agriculture sur brûlis pratiquée dans le nord de la Zambie. Une forme similaire existe au Malawi sous le nom de visosa. Il s'agit de couper, tailler ou émonder des arbres de la forêt primaire ou secondaire de miombo puis de brûler la biomasse résultante afin de créer une couche de cendres plus épaisse que celle que donnerait un brûlage in situ. On plante ensuite, dans la zone ainsi dégagée, du maïs, du mil, du sorgho ou du manioc. (fr)
