Ecological Citizenship: Theoretical Analysis For A New Vision Of Environmental Policy

Abstract
Environmental policies have been considering citizens as passive actors of the change for many years, the new economics, and more precisely the notion of ecological citizenship, transcend this view by introducing citizens as actors of change and source of progress. In this article I try to put in perspective the literature on that topic with the rising of Community Supported Agriculture, to try to give weight to this new view. This new type of sustainable consumption might be considered as a tangible evidence of the theory of Dobson on ecological citizenship, if so, the scientific literature as to take more interest in it, so as to understand its implication in terms of public policies, which has yet not been done.

Keywords
