Does anyone know just how much more food that population over and above a province population limit costs? I understand that it costs more than population withing the starting limits, but just how much more? Twice as much? 3 times more?

It grows exponentially.

1 level of men above threshold costs you 2 food (1 + 1); 2 levels above costs you 5 food (1 + 4); 3 levels above costs you 10 food (1 + 9). This can get out of hand very rapidly.

Not overly sure how it works but 'Roads' are alleged to help with population growth, and there is always the ''Universal service' ? or somesuch that cuts the cost of any increase by 20% leastways that if I've understood it correctly [&:]

Yes a level of roads allows you 0.5 population over threshold, so every 2 levels means 1 point over (half doesn't give you a chance or anything you need both levels).

Universal service will do as you suggest Peter (cut your food bill by 20%) which is key for some countries.
