Nutrient over-enrichment remains the key environmental challenge for lakes and reservoirs in Slovenia. For the assessment period 2014–2019, only 4 of the 11 lake water bodies achieved good or high ecological status. Recent annual data indicate no signs of improvement, and in some lakes total phosphorus concentrations are even rising. The main pressures are linked to human activities, especially inappropriate discharge of municipal wastewater, intensive agriculture in the catchments, and fisheries.

The quality of bathing water along the Slovenian coast is excellent, which ranks Slovenia at the top among the EU countries.

The quality of inland bathing waters in Slovenia is high, as most are classified as “excellent”, which is better than in the majority of other EU Member States.

The value of agricultural output in Slovenia fluctuates in the period 1995–2024, which can be a consequence of fluctuation of changes in prices of agricultural products, changes in the volume of agricultural production or combination of both. In the recent period, the key factors have been large fluctuations in the physical volume (and consequently the value) of agricultural production, especially in crop production. In recent years, there have been intense fluctuations in crop prices and prices of agricultural inputs.

In Slovenia, the breeding of indigenous domestic animals is becoming less attractive, and out of 15 indigenous breed 14 are endangered. The Carniolan honeybee being the only exception. Thirteen out of 14 traditional breeds are also endangered. The share of introduced animal breeds and crossbreeds with introduced breeds has been increasing. The breeds and races where the adaptation to natural conditions is the strongest are the most successful with defining the introduced breeds.
