Slovenia is a net importer of food, as domestic production does not cover the total domestic needs (especially for vegetables, fruit, potatoes and pig meat). The long-term trend indicates that the self-sufficiency rate is higher and more stable for animal products (milk, eggs, beef and poultry meat), except for pig meat and honey, where the self-sufficiency rate is noticeably decreasing. In the analysed period, surpluses occurred only in the domestic production of milk, beef, poultry meat, in some years in eggs and honey, and in recent years in the production of grain maize.

In Slovenia, in 2023, monitoring of drinking water quality was carried out for 92.3% of the population, at the point of use (user's tap) on drinking water supply systems, or in 861 supply zones that supplied 50 or more inhabitants and included 25 smaller supply areas, which also supplied public facilities, facilities for the food production. In the drinking water monitoring did not include 7.7% of the population of Slovenia, which supplies fewer than 50 persons e.g. individual supply providing, rainwater.

The total number of varieties listed in the National List of Varieties for cereals, corn, and potatoes has decreased since 2011, while the number of oilseed varieties has steadily increased over the same period, mainly due to domestic varieties registered as conservation varieties and the registration of a larger number of foreign sunflower hybrids. In other crops the number has remained at the similar level. For rye and oats, the proportion of the five most common varieties is 100%.

The estimated average long-term dietary intake of metals (lead, cadmium, and mercury) for the adult population of Slovenia does not exceed the corresponding reference points (BMDL) or health-based guidance values (tolerable daily/weekly intakes). However, for children, the average intake of lead, cadmium and mercury (fish consumers) may be exceeded, a situation similar to that in the EU.

In Slovenia, in 2024, 29% of children (0-14 years old) in larger cities were exposed to concentrations of 0-20 µg PM₁₀/m³ and 71 % of children (0-14 years) in larger cities were exposed to concentrations of 20-30 µg PM₁₀/m³. In Europe, most children live in an environment where PM₁₀ concentrations are below 26 µg/m³.
