The war strategy of burning crops and villages is known as "scorched earth." This tactic involves the deliberate destruction of agricultural resources and infrastructure to deny the enemy food and shelter, thereby weakening their capacity to sustain military operations and civilian morale. It has been used throughout history in various conflicts, often leading to severe humanitarian consequences for the affected populations. Scorched earth tactics aim to inflict long-term damage on the enemy's resources and disrupt their ability to recover.
