Grants and Contributions
About this information
In June 2016, as part of the Open Government Action Plan, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) committed to increasing the transparency and usefulness of grants and contribution data and subsequently launched the Guidelines on the Reporting of Grants and Contributions Awards, effective April 1, 2018.
The rules and principles governing government grants and contributions are outlined in the Treasury Board Policy on Transfer Payments. Transfer payments are transfers of money, goods, services or assets made from an appropriation to individuals, organizations or other levels of government, without the federal government directly receiving goods or services in return, but which may require the recipient to provide a report or other information subsequent to receiving payment. These expenditures are reported in the Public Accounts of Canada. The major types of transfer payments are grants, contributions and \'other transfer payments\'.
Included in this category, but not to be reported under proactive disclosure of awards, are (1) transfers to other levels of government such as Equalization payments as well as Canada Health and Social Transfer payments. (2) Grants and contributions reallocated or otherwise redistributed by the recipient to third parties; and (3) information that would normally be withheld under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.

Conversion of Food Waste into Stable Biocarbon as a Carbon Sequestration and Methane Reduction Solution
FWRC-D075-2
The objective of this project is to chemically break down or “pyrolyze” food waste into constituent elements, primarily carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. The gaseous elements are removed from the reactor and can be used to produce sustainable energy. The carbon is left behind. This newly formed biocarbon is stable and can be used in a variety of value-added applications.

Using the power of mushrooms Chinova's clean-label solution improves the quality, freshness and shelf-life of food and beverage products which promotes the reduction of food waste from farm-to-fork
FWRC-C031-2
The objective of this project is to develop a clean-label preservative by extracting a natural fibre from white button mushrooms. This natural preservative improves the quality, freshness and shelf-life of various food and beverage products (e.g., juice, yoghurt, dips) thereby reducing food waste through upcycling mushroom stems that would otherwise be wasted.
