Abstract
The study focuses on agriculture of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, specifically its importance and changes in the context of the Nazi occupation of the Bohemian-Moravian area. It defines the main lines of Nazi agricultural policy in the Protectorate: their goals, implementation framework and results.
It raises a fundamental question about the dynamics and interrelationship between the agricultural-nutrition policy, which addressed the issue of population nutrition and at the same time the use of agricultural production for the Reich (export), and land-settlement policy, which pursued the Germanization of the Bohemian-Moravian area and thus played a key role in Germans' efforts to secure their living space. The study evaluates the results of the indicated policies as at least contradictory.
The mutual balancing of policies in the first years of occupation turned after 1941 and especially then during the total war into mutual denial and obvious conflict between them.
