'''Blood and soil''' ({{lang-de|Blut und Boden}}) is a nationalist slogan expressing Nazi Germany's ideal of a racially defined [[Body national|national body]] ("Blood") united with a settlement area ("Soil"). By it, rural and farm life forms are idealized as a counterweight to urban ones. It is tied to the contemporaneous German concept of ''[[Lebensraum]]'', the belief that the German people were to expand into [[Eastern Europe]], conquering and displacing the native [[Slavs|Slavic]] and [[Balts|Baltic]] population via ''[[Generalplan Ost]]''. {{Citation needed|reason=No reference|date=March 2023}}

"Blood and soil" was a key slogan of Nazi ideology. The [[Nationalism|nationalist]] ideology of the [[Artaman League]] and the writings of [[Richard Walther Darré]] guided agricultural policies which were later adopted by [[Adolf Hitler]], [[Heinrich Himmler]] and [[Baldur von Schirach]].
