Overall, the data confirm a clear distribution of carbon stocks by land use: organic/peat-influenced soils and uses with permanent vegetation cover (peatland meadows, permanent grasslands, tree- and shrub-dominated vegetation) reach the highest stocks (approximately 105–190 t/ha, with peatlands at the top). These are followed by extensive orchards (around 100 t/ha), while intensive orchards and vineyards remain in the lower range (approximately 59–94 t/ha). Arable land falls within the medium range, but shows signs of an increase after 2020 (113.3 t/ha).

In the period 2022–2024, the share of agricultural land decreased by 0.3 %. The most significant declines were observed in overgrown agricultural area, arable land, and vineyards, while increases occurred in grasslands, less present agricultural land uses, and uncultivated agricultural land. A positive development during this period was the increase in the share of grasslands (permanent and wet grasslands), which may indicate a gradual restoration of agricultural landscape. Slovenia remains well bellow both the European and global averages in terms of arable land per capita.

The total use of plant protection products (PPPs) in Slovenia has decreased by nearly two-thirds over the past 30 years — from 2,031 tons in 1992 to 733 tons in 2024. Because of the large share of permanent crops, PPP use per hectare in Slovenia remains relatively high, but comparable to other EU countries with a similar production structure. Over the last decade, Slovenia has significantly reduced the intensity of PPP use on utilised arable land and permanent crops: from an average of 6.57 kg/ha in 2000–2010 to only 3.63 kg/ha in 2024.

The response of agricultural holdings to the agricultural policy and favourable market opportunities, which support the spreading of organic farming has been growing every year. The area intended for organic farming has increased in the period 1999–2023 from 2,400 ha to 54,602 ha, or from 0.5% to 11.4% of the total utilised agricultural area. The structure of agricultural land with organic farming is strongly dominated by grassland (78% in 2023), which shows that livestock farms more frequently convert to organic farming.

Foodborne infections or intestinal infectious diseases (IID) remain a significant public health concern in Slovenia and globally. The incidence of foodborne infections or IID in Slovenia, as in other countries, is estimated based on reported cases of intestinal infectious diseases.
