Nutrients can be produced from map squares with sufficient Rainfall, Farms, condensers, soil enrichers, monoliths, forests, nutrient bonuses, and from the Monsoon Jungle and Freshwater Sea landmarks.

There are several ways to gain extra nutrient production.

Until the discovery of Gene Splicing, squares are normally limited to producing 2 nutrients. The base square, a square containing a nutrient bonus, or a Condenser all bypass the early restriction.

Surplus nutrients are stored. When sufficient surplus has been accumulated, a base will grow, producing a new point of population. Each population point consumes two Nutrients. If there is insufficient Nutrients being produced, and not enough stored, at a base then population will be lost.
