Against a backdrop of a rapidly changing food system and a growing population, characterisation of likely future diets in India can help to inform agriculture and health policies. We systematically searched six published literature databases and grey literature repositories up to January 2018 for studies projecting the consumption of foods in India to time points beyond 2018. The 11 identified studies reported on nine foods up to 2050: the available evidence suggests projected increases in per capita consumption of vegetables, fruit and dairy products, and little projected change in cereal (rice and wheat) and pulse consumption. Meat consumption is projected to remain low. Understanding and mitigating the impacts of projected dietary changes in India is important to protect public health and the environment.

在迅速变化的粮食体系和人口增长的背景下，对印度未来可能的饮食特征进行描述可以帮助制定农业和卫生政策。我们系统地搜索了截至2018年1月的六个公开文献数据库和灰色文献库，以研究预测印度到2018年以后的时间点的食品消费。11项已确定的研究报告了2050年前的九种食品：现有证据表明，预计印度的人均食品消费量将增加人均蔬菜，水果和奶制品消费量，谷物（大米和小麦）和豆类消费量的预测变化很小。肉类消费预计将保持较低水平。了解和减轻印度预计的饮食变化的影响对于保护公共健康和环境至关重要。
