  Hi 12sarsat
  
  We’re more likely to do it to meet our needs, for example to get plants to produce more grains so that we have more to eat. But I guess if plants are struggling to grow in extreme environments, such as drought, we can modify them to help them survive with less water. So yes, we can help to meet their needs. 🙂
