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 2023). This area did not change significantly between 2000 and 2023, which indicates that Slovenia maintains its production potential.

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.

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.

In the period 1992–2024 the consumption of mineral fertilizers in Slovenia was reduced by 41%. In the same period the consumption of plant nutrients (N, P₂O₅, K₂O) per hectare of utilized agricultural area also reduced by 45%. The average consumption per hectare of utilized agricultural area was 61 kg N, 25 kg P₂O₅ and 30 kg K₂O. In the period 2014–2023 the average consumption of nitrogen in Slovenia was lower (58 kg N/ha) than in EU member states (60 kg N/ha).
