12. Lesson learned
Learning never stops.
Starts with the individual – we need to be open-minded.
Learning together is more productive (and more fun).
Finding the time for learning will have great rewards for us as individuals and for those around us.
Online learning is increasingly becoming a tool that can reach millions including those in remote areas.
The FAO e-learning course on sustainable drylands management is a great opportunity for us to share
learning from our own experiences and learn from others, as part of a global action research experience.
