A more than slightly biased source but quoting a DEFRA report of sorts.
"We" weren't self sufficient during WWII which is why dear old Adolph had Doenitz do his best to sink everything in the Atlantic.

Who to clap this week - how about the people who reap and sow, who herd and look after their flocks - our food - yes all those who work on the land: the shepherds , the farmers, the crofters, the smallholders -those who are producing nearly 50% of our food.Comment

There was a time when every back garden around here was planted with veg.
Now, there's just one chap who still bothers.
It started tailing off in the 1980s.
Strangelove Pater was still planting his garden in his 90s.
All I've done is turn that productive garden into a lawn so the idle new owner can mow it badly once in a fecking blue moon.
Similarly my garden is a lawn from top to bottom, with a greenhouse that hasn't seen a tomato plant in 5 years since Strangelove Mater went into a home & stopped nagging me about it.When the fun stops, STOP.Comment

It didn't do it twice.
A mate of mine further down west is plagued with rabbits.
So he just shoots 'em.
I've just remembered that there was a little mouse living in the greenhouse, much to my amusement.
I left it alone.
The mice in the salting house got decimated very rapidly.
The little buggers were climbing up the cavity in the house wall into the back bedroom.
