Self-Sufficiency in a Globalised World

The article discusses Slovenia's food self-sufficiency and its position within the broader European and global economic context. It explains what food self-sufficiency means, noting that it refers to a country's ability to produce enough food to meet domestic needs.

Večji problem pa seveda nastane v primeru zaprtja meja, omejenosti trgovine ali naravnih nesreč. Na samooskrbnost lahko hitro vplivajo tudi globalni dogodki. Stopnja samooskrbe nam pove, koliko potreb po hrani lahko pokrijemo z lastno proizvodnjo.
