It can feed the people, the UK is highly fertile. We pay farmers not to
produce. Any food imported is because it is cheap, trade agreements, or
we
just can't grow that food in our climate. When it comes to it, the land
can
feed the people. It did in WW2. All land was turned over to food
production.


And despite that and stringent rationing we still imported a large
percentage
of our food from the USA, thats why the bloody Germans were trying to
sink
the merchant ships after all.

The country could feed itself that was for sure. The Germans wanted to sink
arms more than food.
