Please supply evidence that genetic engineering or any other method can
double the productivity of any species without increasing the amount of
water and nutrients, including a cogent explanation of just how this is
done.

I would say the big biotech companies are the world's leading authorities
with regard to the issue of how we can feed the world in the coming
decades.
Example:
http://www.monsanto.com/responsibility/sustainable-ag/default.asp
Excerpts:
"By 2050, say United Nations’ experts, our planet must double
food production to feed an anticipated population of 9.3 billion people."
"By 2030, Monsanto commits to help farmers produce more and
conserve more by: Developing improved seeds that help farmers
double yields from 2000 levels for corn, soybeans, cotton, and
spring-planted canola, with a $10 million grant pledged to improve
wheat and rice yields.”
