Abstract	In response to the Tenth Food and Agricultural Regional Conference for Asia and the Far East (August/September 1970), a comparative study of the different approaches already tried in the Region was conducted, and as the product of that study, this report briefly describes projects currently operating in India; Ceylon; Thailand; Malaysia; Indonesia; the Philippines; Korea; and Japan. This survey revealed the following different approaches to young farmer training: (1) Institutional Training (as part of the formal education system; as a follow-up to formal education for younger school leavers; as training for older out-of-school youth); (2) "On-Farm" Approaches (those associated with rural youth club programs; youth settlement schemes; training on the farms of others); (3) Comprehensive Approaches Combining "On-Farm" and Institutional Training Programs; (4) Youth Mobilization Schemes (aimed at involving masses of unemployed youth in training and developmental projects). Utilizing the following evaluation criteria: (1) rationale and goals; (2) structure, content, and methods of training; (3) application of training; (4) degree to which the program could be replicated; this study concludes that an "on-farm" training program conducted via Rural Youth Movements and supported by short course institutional training is the best approach for the needs of Asian rural youth.
