Greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture, mainly methane and nitrous oxide, decreased by 11.0% from 1986 to 2019. The largest declines occurred in pig and cattle production and in fertilizer application to agricultural crops. The rapid decline in emissions was typical of the early years of this period. After that, the decline slowed down. In 2019, Slovenia achieved the target (0.3% increase of greenhouse gas emissions compared to 2005) set by Operational programme for limiting greenhouse gas emissions until 2020 (increase by a maximum of 5% compared to 2005).
