      abstract = {The primary aim of the present paper is to introduce a  model which
permits relevant, actual and continuous  monitoring of the multifunctionality of
agriculture in  Slovenia and, using the model, to evaluate to what extent  key elements
of multifunctional agriculture were in fact  infl uenced by recent agricultural
policy goals and  measures. Said evaluation was performed on various  “multifunctionality
elements” using available statistical  data for the period examined.
Based on selected  socio-economic and spatial indicators, together with  indicators
of biological diversity, the model provides an  effi cient tool for assessing the
effectiveness of  agricultural policy and its impact on the different  functions of
agriculture. To evaluate the various  multifunctionality elements of agriculture
and to assess  the effect of agricultural policy measures, the model  comprises
a qualitative assessment, quantitative assessment  and the application of indicators
of multifunctionality.  Based on the collected set of production, environmental
and  social indicators used, the study points to an increased  multifunctional role
of agriculture and agricultural policy  in Slovenia. The results furthermore show
that the goals of  agricultural policy in the period 1994-2004 were achieved  to
a great extent and that the multifunctional attitude of  agriculture in Slovenia is increasing.},
