Antropocen rozwija się wykładniczo w funkcji rosnącej populacji ludzkiej oraz jej rozwoju cywilizacyjnego XXI wieku. Obok licznych udogodnień, niesie to szereg zagrożeń społeczno-ekonomicznych i środowiskowych. Celem opracowania jest zaakcentowanie wagi zakotwiczania wiedzy i kultury działania ludzkiego w rozwiązywaniu problemów zagrożenia dla środowiska przyrodniczego. W publikacji opisano także niektóre komponenty realizacji przedmiotu „Ekologistyka” na kierunku „Logistyka w sektorze rolno-spożywczym” na Uniwersytecie Rzeszowskim. Na podstawie własnego doświadczenia, dyskusji ze studentami i wyników ankiety zestawiono wyobrażenie zakresu treści tego przedmiotu oczami studentów.

The Anthropocene is developing exponentially as a function of the growing human population and its civilizational development in the 21st century. In addition to numerous amenities, it carries a number of socio-economic and environmental risks. The aim of the study is to emphasize the importance of anchoring people's knowledge and culture of human activity in problems of threats to the natural environment. The publication also describes some components of the implementation of the subject "Ecologistics" in the field of "Logistics in the agricultural and food sector" at the University of Rzeszów. On the basis of own experience, discussions with students and the results of the survey, an idea of the content of this subject through the eyes of students was compiled.
The current state of the world’s ecosystems requires many measures to restore opportunities, if not for their reconstruction, then to stop the rate of biodiversity loss. One of the areas where this should happen is industrial agriculture. In order to diversify the large-scale monoculture crops dominated by cereals and fodder crops, science and practice draw attention to the need to introduce the plants of smaller or marginal significance into cultivation. Flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) is a species with special properties and great utility from the ancient times to the present. Currently, Canada is the largest producer of flax in the world, while France, Belgium and the Netherlands in Europe. The aim of the work was to assess the state of its cultivation (area and volume of production) and determine the possibilities of restituting this species in Poland. The analysis of the available materials indicates that the largest areas of flax cultivation occurred in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, when flax competed with cotton as a raw material for the production of textile products. In the interwar period, Poland had a well-developed linen industry for flax processing. Large quantities of high-quality linseed oil were also produced. In the 1990s, the production of flax amounted to several hundred hectares, and after Poland’s accession to the EU, the area of cultivation and production of oil flax increased. Bearing in mind the pro-environmental qualities of linen and linseed oil, there is a need to popularize this species and increase the cultivation area, for which the climatic and soil conditions in moderate climate are very favorable.

Len zwyczajny (Linum usitatissimum L.) jest gatunkiem o szczególnych właściwościach i dużym znaczeniu użytkowym od starożytności do czasów obecnych. Celem pracy jest zaprezentowanie informacji na temat jego uprawy na polskiej wsi w ujęciu historycznym, a także pod kątem aktualnej potrzeby tworzenia z jego udziałem uwarunkowań przyrodniczo- społeczno ekonomicznych podstaw zrównoważonego rozwoju. Analiza dostępnych materiałów wskazuje, że największe powierzchnie uprawy lnu występowały w Polsce w wieku XIX i XX, gdy konkurował z bawełną jako surowiec do produkcji wyrobów tekstylnych. W okresie międzywojennym w Polsce przemysł włókienniczy do przerobu lnu był dobrze rozwinięty. Produkowano także duże ilości wysokowartościowego oleju lnianego. W latach 90-tych XX wieku produkcja lnu włóknistego zmalała na rzecz areału uprawy lnu oleistego. Obecnie należy podejmować działania dla odnowy uprawy tej cennej rośliny.

Flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) is a species of crop plants with special properties and great utility from antiquity to the present. The purpose of the work is to present its cultivation in the Polish countryside in historical terms, as well as in terms of the current need to create natural and socio-economic conditions for sustainable development with its participation. The analysis of available materials indicates that the largest areas of flax growing occurred in Poland in the 19th and 20th centuries, when it competed with cotton as a raw material for the production of textile products. In the interwar period in Poland, the textile industry for processing linen was well developed. Large quantities of high-quality linseed oil were also produced. In the 1990s, the production of flax decreased in favor of the oilseed crop area. Action should now be taken to renew the cultivation of this valuable plant.
Lumbricidae play a key role in the soil environment as “the ecosystem engineers”. They participate in all the categories of services provided by ecosystems. In agricultural areas, the conventional intensive farming practices have led to a significant decline in the biological diversity of soils including earthworms. In this study, we attempted to characterize the community structure of earthworms in permanent grassland and arable land of the Didactic & Experimental Station of Rzeszów University in Krasne near Rzeszów. Similar densities of earthworms were observed in the grassland and in the arable land (101.01 ± 18.03 ind. ∙ m-2 and 82.12 ± 18.26 ind. ∙ m-2, respectively) (p > 0.05) as well as a similar biomass of Lumbricidae (77.72 ± 15.30 g ∙ m-2 and 54.34 ± 11.72 g ∙ m-2) (p > 0.05). In the research, 7 species of earthworms were found in the permanent grassland and 6 representatives of Lumbricidae were identified in the arable land. The identified earthworms represented all three main morpho-ecological groups. The density and biomass of epi-endogeic earthworm L. rubellus and the anecic species of L. terrestris were shown to be higher (p < 0.05) in the grassland as compared to the arable land. In order to protect Lumbricidae and to sustain the beneficial role of earthworms in an ecosystem, it is necessary to monitor the negative changes in populations of earthworm species attributed to various farming practices.
Cemetery waste accounts for only a small amount of municipal waste, but its collection and inadequate management are problematic. The purpose of this study was to identify problems in the operation and logistics of the waste management system through the eyes of the cemetery user and the bodies responsible for collecting this type of waste. The tradition of caring for and decorating gravestones is significant in the production of cemetery waste. Most waste is generated during the holiday of the dead. The problem is the lack of adequate regulations and a permanent system of cemetery waste management throughout Europe and, for example, Poland. These issues affect both visitors and cemetery managers. Success in logistics of sustainable cemetery waste management can come from canvassing the opinions of cemetery visitors and managers and dissemination of the principles of minimalism.
