In part, yes. Jay Rayner has a good article on this:

No doubt it will be dismissed by the usual suspects, because any criticism on Brexit or this government is just like blaming Brexit for Scunthorpe Utd’s demise or something.

Food supply issues exacerbating was project fear, they said. They will now say such didn’t matter, because it was all about sovereignty and we can be self-sufficient on food, but it was still project fear. Well, we haven’t been self-sufficient on food for a century and putting fingers in the ears to concerns, calling it project fear, won’t do anything to solve the issue. I also don’t think full self-sufficiency is even possible.
