“…A potential solution to any heavily contaminated site with forage species that bioaccumulate metals could be to dilute the concentrations with the additional of a fodder species to the system, such as mulberry. In addition to being a valuable fodder species (Jian et al, 2012), mulberry is also tolerant of soils contaminated with heavy metals (Jiang et al, 2019(Jiang et al, , 2020(Jiang et al, , 2021 and has been suggested as an alternative cash crop species in contaminated paddy soils in China (Jiang et al, 2020). Mulberry trees are tolerant of contaminated soils and do not bioaccumulate metals in the leaves beyond the MTL levels defined by the NRC, 2006).…”

The growing urban and peri-urban populations around the world creates strain on food and environmental security. Alleviation of these stressors may be possible by enhancing regional food production and ecosystem services provided by urban and peri-urban agriculture (UPA). Despite the growing popularity of UPA in the United States, incorporating livestock in these settings is challenging. A review of the literature identified three key barriers to adoption of urban and peri-urban livestock keeping that have the potential to be ameliorated using agroforestry practices to facilitate integration: animal feed resources, water quality and nutrient cycling, and use of sites contaminated with heavy metals. A discussion focused on the solutions to those barriers resulted in two theoretical silvopasture systems; we propose one for the urban setting and another for the peri-urban setting. We have determined small-scale livestock keeping provides a potential strategy to meet the demands of growing urban and peri-urban environments, but sustainable and effective integration of livestock under these conditions must be considered to mitigate environmental risks associated with urban livestock keeping. Urban silvopasture has the potential to enhance specialty crop and niche food production in these environments. Future research should seek to better understand small-scale silvopasture at the whole-system level in a variety of resource contexts and with local species and practices.

“…Guisangyou tea (GSY tea) is made of the tender leaves of the Guisangyou mulberry tree, which is a hybrid mulberry variety bred and selected in Guangxi, China. The variety is an economically efficient mulberry with high yield and efficiency, and has a large planting area and boasts several advantages, such as wide adaptability, strong regeneration ability, high temperature resistance, drought resistance, cutting resistance, and rich nutrition [9]. Mulberry leaves are rich in numerous active ingredients beneficial to human health, such as polyphenols, flavonoids, and polysaccharides.…”

This study was aimed to investigate the effect of Guisangyou tea (GSY tea) in improving abnormal lipid metabolism in mice with obesity induced by a high-fat diet (HFD). The results showed that intervention of the water extract of GSY tea (WE) decreased serum levels of lipids, and positively regulated the related antioxidant enzyme activities and the inflammatory factors in the serum and liver. In the liver, the mRNA and protein expression levels of sterol regulatory element-binding proteins-1 (SREBP-1), stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1 (SCD-1), fatty acid synthase (FASN), and acetyl CoA carboxylase (ACC) related to lipid synthesis were downregulated, and the mRNA and protein expression levels of the farnesoid X receptor (FXR) and small heterodimer partner (SHP) related to bile acid production were upregulated. The results demonstrate that GSY tea can improve abnormal lipid metabolism in obese mice by improving the body’s antioxidant capacity, regulating the inflammatory state, and reducing the synthesis of lipids and increasing the production of bile acids. GSY tea can be processed and utilized as a safe and effective resource for improving abnormal lipid metabolism.
