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.

In Slovenia, we cultivate slightly more than 8 acres (0.08 hectares) of arable land per capita, which more than third of the average in the European Union (EU), which is 22 acres of arable land per capita (data for year 2022). This area did not change significantly between 2000 and 2022, which indicates that Slovenia maintains its production potential.

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.
