“A New Nobility of Blood and Soil” is Richard Walther Darré’s most influential work and one of the central texts of the Nazi agrarian movement. Darré, an SS Obergruppenführer and Reich Minister of Food and Agriculture, advanced the infamous slogan “Blut und Boden”—“Blood and Soil”—to express the claimed interdependence of a people and the land they cultivate.
Originally published in 1930, the book became a bestseller in the Third Reich and shaped both rural policy and propaganda. Darré argued that Germany’s enduring strength lay with its peasant farmers, whom he portrayed as the true national elite—rooted in heritage, loyal to homeland, and resistant to what he called the excesses of capitalism and the decline of the old aristocracy. He envisioned a “new nobility” of hardworking agriculturalists who, through dedication to the soil, would counter urban alienation, low birth rates, and environmental decline.
