Slovenia Weekly: Our actions are our future

Tomorrow's World Food Day is being celebrated under the slogan "Our actions are our future - better production, better nutrition, a better environment and a better life". In line with the objectives of World Food Day, Slovenia is promoting increased demand for and production of sustainably produced food.

Ensuring food security is, after all, one of the main objectives of the CAP Strategic Plan 2023-2027, with due regard for environmental protection. In this respect, food self-sufficiency is of great importance, where our country has great potential. This has an impact on the sustainable development of agriculture, its competitiveness, the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, the sustainable use of land for food production, the preservation of jobs and, in this way, the improvement of the population's food security.

Slovenia is therefore promoting the development of short food chains, which ensure shorter transport routes from farms to the final consumer, with as few intermediaries as possible, and thus faster delivery, higher quality and fresher products.
