One of the central referred of the contemporary education is to learn to live in a complex society and to make a democracy alive, which is being the bearer of the values of accountability and solidarity. In selecting to develop many alternative forms of consumption, as local short cycles, citizens raise the question of values and of their transmission. The main purpose of this paper is to consider the input of various forms of education (family implicitely education, informal one or popular non-formal one) towards our feeding behaviors. More specifically, we will bring to light the contribution of the AMAPs (french acronym for associations of consumers tied to local producers). The alternative modes of consumption, which are proposed by those kind of organisational structures invite the citizens to get into an emancipatory approach, leading to action and commitment, both founding principles of popular education.
