Zveza društev ekoloških kmetov Slovenije (ZDEKS)

Zveza društev ekoloških kmetov Slovenije is the union of six regional associations of Slovenian organic farmers, founded in Slovenj Gradec in 2017; it represents about 500 members. As an association in the public interest it speaks for organic farmers to decision-makers, helps prepare the organic action plan and the CAP strategic plan, and promotes organic food. It is for organic farmers and those planning to convert.

Membership is voluntary, through one of the six regional associations: Deteljica, Dolenjska–Posavje–Bela krajina, Gorenjska, Severna Primorska, EKO Istra and North-East Slovenia (SV Slovenija). No public source gives exact conditions.
