I'm seeking information and analyses on the link between return to land movements and fascism.

It's easy to speculate on the links between the two, particularly in settler colonial states where settlers spreading out working the land entrenches the settler's claim to the land. Plus the Nazis were quite on the nose with the whole "lebensraum" concept. But I'd like to understand the links more rigorously.

I'm especially interested in what the modern relationship consists of in old, well established settler colonies like the US, Canada, and Australia where it seems settler colonialism is no longer that popular of an ideology, and they try to somewhat distance themselves from their origins.

There is scholarship about back to the land and fascism in the first half of the 20th century, but I think ecofascism is the more common term now.
