The authors examine such phrases as sustainable agriculture, sustinable animal production, integrated crop management, ecological agriculture, biological agriculture, organic agriculture, permaculture and peaceful agriculture. In addition, they discuss possibilities for the further development of environmental measures by categorizing them into 'Brussels' and 'non-Brussels'. Finally, the authors raise questions about the new challenges that have arisen through data analysis and practical experiences during the establishment of organic and integrated agriculture (incl. oil crops) in Slovenia.

Biodynamics (BD) agriculture became the subject of research efforts, despite marks it as dogmatic. The studies show effects of BD preparations on yield, soil quality, energy use, environmental impacts and biodiversity. BD farming strives, as manifested in several publications, to positively impact cultural landscape design as well. Summarized data showed that further research is needed and thus encouraged in the field of food quality comparison/determination, food safety, environmental performance (e.g., footprints), including effects of BD farming practices on farm animals.

Introduction, production and marketing in alternative (underutilized, neglected, disregarded, rare) crops is a very complex system, but very helpful for producers and consumers. Based on experiences we concluded that many additional activities are needed to establishing an effective production system and market for underutilized field crops. For example, our research project on four oil crops grown under dry conditions, including greenhouse experiments is a contribution to how to include less sensitive crops into rotatation systems because of climate changes.
