Actually yes, though in many cases why isn't really known simply that in trial studies done one food will decrease fertility and another increase it.
Some known to decrease fertility include:
-MSG and other additives
-A high carbohydrate diet
-Caffeine
-Alcohol
-A diet rich in meat (don't avoid meat, but a diet lower in meat is recommended.)
-Soybeans and forms of soy
To increase fertility it's recommended you keep a balanced diet high in folic acid. Men should also aim for a diet high in zinc and avoid soy products as well.
On top of this your weight also plays a significant role on fertility as well as exercise. Naturally, your diet and nutrition affects your weight.
