In Slovenia, the intensity of agricultural production increased moderately in the period 2000–2023. The main reasons for this are the continuous decrease of the number of agricultural holdings and the relatively stable volume of agricultural production. The concentration took place primarily in the direction of improving the labour intensity of agricultural production or reducing the labour input per unit of area or product. In the period 2000-2020 the stocking density per hectare of utilized agricultural area is slightly decreased.

Despite the fact that the level of education on Slovenian agricultural holdings has significantly improved in the period 2000-20120, it is still quite unfavourable. Still, more than half of the farmers have only practical experience with work in agriculture. In all age classes, the number of farmers who have completed one of the forms of formal agricultural education is increasing. Under the Rural Development Program 2014-2020, 133,320 participants participated in education and training in the sub-measure M01.1: Support for vocational training and skills acquisition actions.

Concentrations of nitrogen dioxide and total nitrogen oxides in ambient air do not exceed the prescribed limit values. Consequently, they are not harmful for human health and vegetation.

Greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture, mainly methane and nitrous oxide, decreased by 16.3% from 1986 to 2022. 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 until 2013. From 2013 to 2016, emissions increased. They were steady between 2016 and 2021 and decreased in 2022.

In Slovenia, the market prices follow the trends at the key agricultural markets, globally or regionally important. Market prices of grain are following the trend and the level of EU average, prices of beef are below EU average while the market prices of poultry meat, pig meat and eggs are above the EU average. Slovenia stands out with its market prices of milk, which are among the lowest in the EU.
