Speaking by Heart

The article discusses the challenges facing Slovenian agriculture due to climate change, particularly droughts, and questions the sustainability of using large amounts of water for irrigation. It highlights concerns over subsidies allocated to livestock farming and the need for state support to make agriculture more resilient. The author criticizes the lack of awareness among the public regarding irrigation systems and points out that despite repeated calls by the Ministry of Agriculture to build irrigation systems, there is no clear plan for where the water would come from. The article also raises issues related to water management, including the impact of urban development on river ecosystems, excessive drainage practices in agriculture, and the negative effects on groundwater levels. These factors contribute to worsening drought conditions and threaten both agricultural productivity and environmental balance.
