International law prohibits destroying the agriculture of occupied peoples, as it violates rules against destroying property and harming civilians' ability to survive. The occupying power has a duty to ensure the welfare of the local population and must allow access to food and water. Destruction of agriculture through the transfer of settlers can lead to state responsibility, and any such destruction may also violate principles of permanent sovereignty over natural resources.
The occupying power is only considered a temporary administrator and must ensure the territory's resources are used for the benefit of the occupied population, not for its own gain. This prohibition is further detailed in the Fourth Geneva Convention, which forbids the destruction of private or public property except when directly required by military operations.
