The trend of food consumption after 2000 is slightly declining in almost all categories. One possible explanation for this decline is probably changed eating habits when we eat less at home. At the same time, there is a marked upward trend in food and beverage costs. The results of research show that of all food categories, meat and dairy products have the highest environmental impacts. The number of agricultural holdings with organic farming in Slovenia is slowly growing, but the dynamics of growth of organic production is not satisfactory. The structure of organic production in Slovenia also does not meet the demand, which is highest for fresh vegetables, fruit, mill and dairy products, while the livestock and grassland predominate in organic production.
